Zack pretty much takes after his mother by terms of appearance. He has black-colored hair, with a short bang in between his eyes on the top. Red eyes. Light skin, fairly slim and muscular. And also wears a similiar attire of clothing that is mostly colored white with blue designs. Kayle commented that Zack was adorable when he was little, and is now attractive now that he's 18-years-old in age.

Zack's new look after 3 months

Much later in the 3 months pasted, his hair grows longer, and wears an attire mostly of black with white designs (Much like Kraynos). He also becomes much taller, and appears to be more muscular and attractive than before, as stated by Kayle.

During the timeline of the Shattered Memories Arc to the Dualing Championship Arc, Zack was permanently stuck in his Alpha Omega Wolfian form until his Darksider, Dark Zack, was reborn anew. When he was in this form, he looked very much like his grandfather, Alexander Xargus. He was very tall by height. Very well-built and extremely muscular. And he had his Xargus Amulet visible for all to see around his neck area. However, he had a scar on his left eye, dozens more on his body, and an X-shaped one on his chest in the center (scars that he got from Kannra when she was controlled by Vrook to kill Zack). Also, he usually wears long blue jeans with several cuts to them, along with a black belt to it. A black coat that is unzipped; which reveals his amulet and chest scar. And fingerless gloves that have 4 metal knuckle buttons on them. Although he wears this attire for the majority of the story, he would quickly revert back to wearing his old Sith'arian attire if need be. He would even keep his sunglasses in his care when wearing them for show. After his last resurrection by Dark Zack, Zack's scars on his body are now completely healed, and he is able to revert back to either his normal appearance or into his Alpha Omega Wolfian form at will. Zack's Alpha Omega Wolfian appearance makes him extremely attractive to all the girls, and most of the guys end up getting enraged by this and want to kill him for it.

Personality-Wise, Zack is sweet, energetic, care-free, optimistic, charismatic, honest, humble, curious, friendly, kind, cheerful, trust-worthy, intelligent, naive, and quite known to be stubborn as to never back down from a fight, nor from protecting someone.

Zack has always been known to his siblings to have been naive and optimistic, but also has the heart of a courageous hero that will risk his life to save the innocent, even if it were one person that was in grave danger. He even has a keen sense of curiousity to wonder if a piece of cake is good or bad, but sometimes ends up making a crashing mess. His care-free attitude also makes him very funny and nearly ends up in trouble making situations. Zack has also been known to be very honest and sincere, as he would never lie to someone for any reason whatsoever, and has earned everyone's trust. His good, humble and compassionate heart is also the reason why everyone he meets are able to find peace and become better people to others, as shown with Kannra and Maya. Aside from these, Zack also has a rebellious and defiant persona as to never leave a single life behind for the sake of one whole planet, as shown when he defies the Jedi and the Republic when going to save Lily from Akuhiei, and the galactic threat of the Shadow Devastator where Selia was held hostage to lead Zack to Akuhiei. This defiance also originated from the time of the Mandalorian Wars, where Zack and his dearest friends would not stand by and let innocent people be conquered and slaughtered. And no matter how hard a battle may seem or unwinnable, he never backs down for a second as he never believes in no-win scenarios, thus making him very brave and stubborn to those he fights against. Kain even commented to Akuhiei that Zack is just as much a strong and bold tactition and strategiest as he is, and just as much of a deadly and lethal force and combatant as Akuhiei. Also, he happens to be a very charismatic leader, and has been from the Mandalorian Wars to which Revan said that he's more influential than himself. Zack is also very merciful and pure, as he would never strike down an enemy that can't fight back anymore, and can't kill a Sith Lord ruthlessly as a Jedi would. Because of his mercy, he is viewed by many as a kind and benevolant boy who holds all life sacred, even for the life of a Sith or criminal. This even extends to his former friends that became his enemies, as he couldn't bring himself to kill them, despite that they pose a grave threat to many others. When Akuhiei was defeated by Zack's pre-awakened Darksider form, Zack chose not to kill his old friend, and merely embraced him in a hug of saddened regret for ten years pasted. This caused Kannra to show how good and courageous Zack truly is, and he was made as Kannra's Personal Knight and trusted friend to all known in the galaxy.

As the series progresses, Zack undergoes dynamic, various personality changes. During the Great Droid War, Zack become cold and merciless to his enemies, yet still holds on to his normal persona. Zack even goes to attacking anyone that has either kidnapped those he cares about, or torture them into a living death. He also becomes even more devoted to those close to him, and would even risk everything to save them from the impossible, as seen in the Battle of the Gods Arc. Because of his devotion to those he loves far surpasses all else, he never hesitates to kill any enemy, nor give a shred of remorse for his actions and choices. Pure yet extreme to the fullest, Zack's first death and resurrection into his imperfect D.M.W. caused his Darksider to surface and murder his enemies, all for the sake of protecting the one person he loves. Consequently, This desire he holds to causes his Darksider to slaugther not only his enemies, but nearly those he knows as friends and family. This displays that, although Dark Zack was in control, he was driven by Zack's unyielding desire to save Selia, at any cost, even if that meant killing his friends that would get in his way. Thanks to Selia's tearful pleas, Zack regained his senses and stopped himself from nearly murdering a single friend.

Also, in the Shattered Memories Arc, he becomes conflicted from in his heart and mind, as he tries to find out about his past and those he loves. During his quest of amnesia, Zack shows himself of being haunted by people he deosn't recognize, yet feels as if they are familiar to him. However, these people he frequently sees are actually phantoms of his past, and appear as bloody ghosts of the dead. During these events, Zack is mainly a quiet and serious individual, and prefers to maintain his reactions under a cool and composed manner. Upon meeting Fredrick Mason, the son of Dr. Mason, the Black Plague hunter viewed Zack as someone who seems to be conflicted with his shattered past, and even tries to help him face them. When finally confronting the mad scientist, Zack begins to relive some of his memories, and some of his old persona begins to come back.

After the events of the Black Plague monstrousities, who were led by Dr. Mason, Zack resolves to regaining his long-lost memories, and is regrouped with his friends and allies. When he met his other relatives, Zack felt glad to meet them, yet still felt as if something was still left out. When confronted by Kannra (being controlled by Vrook to manipulate Zack into a puppet weapon), Zack felt a familiar presence of his past, but had yet realized who she was. When given a card that could lead him to remember his past to the final memory, he displays separate personalities that coincides with his Wolfian attitude and traits. The following goes from here:

(1st Ring, Selia Vanick): Within the first Ring of Naught, recalls his time of Naboo, the homeworld of Selia's. Here he recalls his happy moments with her and many others, and can tell that he can a fairly good quality time of this past memory. He was energetic and happy-go-lucky, and even kind and gentle in her presence. However, Selia doesn't physically show herself in this world, but only in his flashbacks through her lucky charm that she gave him. Zack reclaimed the lucky charm and kept it when he left the memorable world.

(2nd Ring, Kiyana Devolan): In this world, Zack was a silent man that spends his days training and reading, but can't seem to recount his past. In this memory he meets Kiyana, a princess of the Devolan royal family. When her world was being invaded by an armada of Sith soldiers. Zack displayed his bravery of facing off the Sith armada on a solo attack, and refused to see any world submit to an evil empire. When spending time on the homeworld of the people he saved, he spent much quality time with the princess, which led to the two being romantically involved. When peace had been resolved on Kiyana's homeworld, they spent their last night together and Zack ventured off to find his past.

In the Resurrection of Evil Arc, he gains some measure of cockiness and wild attitude (Though this could be due to his Wolfian heritage), and doesn't fear his enemies that come at him to kill him. Zack has been through thick and thin, but has always been able to break through every obstacle despite the struggles he had to endure. This makes him a truly benevolant and selfless hero in the storyline.

Zack, originally stuck on a list of dates.

Interestingly, it should be noted that most women that Zack has met and remembered (as well as those he had fought against), have slowly developed romantic feelings for him, which even involves those who are older than him, like Kannra and Maya. This is due to his kind and heroic personality, and he risks his life to save them from any sense of danger. These feelings that he has known for some time, and have been passed down to those of his incarnations, and so those who have romantic feelings for him have been placed on the incarnations, as they are just like Zack in their own way. When it comes to other girls that are attracted to him by his overwhelming pheromone levels (when he's in his Wolfian form), he reluctantly goes on dates with them, but ultimately tries to avoid them by running in swift motion. As such, he only focuses his love attention to those he cares for and only them alone. He now lets his Darksider, Dark Zack, take care of his dates for other girls that are attracted to him; to which Dark Zack gleefully and pervertedly accepts immediately.

Zack also doesn't harbor any anger or hatred towards his Darksider Dark Zack, as he even tells him that he saved his friends and family many times before, and even thanks him for his help. Dark Zack then considers Zack to be a good friend, and has then pledge himself to protect those he holds dear, for as long has he lives.

Zack's favorite food is Pizza. His favorite dessert is Chocolate. His favorite fruits are Apples. And his favorite drink is a Coca-Cola. His favorite hobby is to spar with his siblings and go exercising with his Siegfried. During the Shattred Memories Arc, he develops a habit of smoking cigarettes on his relaxation time, or to just ease off his worries. He even drinks alcoholic beverages, but keeps himself from drinking too much. At the start of the series, Zack is shown to be an excellent cook, and a master at making new equipment for his friends, and Edward paired with him to learn how to improve his own designs.

Zack was brought to the Jedi Council when he was an infant, and was taken cared by Revan, Kayle, and Alek. As the years passed, Zack was very close to Revan, Kayle, and Alek, as he always stayed by them when they head off to dual other students. Zack even gave Revan a last name Venar, as it is an anagram to his name, and Kayle by her new name, as Meetra Surik sounds too lousy. At the age of 4, Zack also met and befriended Kain and Akuhiei. He always fought them to a draw, and they considered Zack as their rival. At one point, Zack met with Revan, Kayle and Alek on the roof of the Academy at night, and wondered what they were doing. They told him that they were watching the stars, as they were beautiful to see at midnight. They begin to talk about what to do in the future, and Revan says that he wants to become a savior of the galaxy and defeat the great evils of life no matter what. Kayle says that she wants to become a great leader who could help train others to defend others in the galaxy and protect the people from impossible odds. Alek says that he wants to be a great jedi who can lead the Jedi Order to a bright future where there can no longer be any wars and wishes for peace to the Jedi and Sith. And Zack says that he just wants to be by his friends' side no matter what happens in the future, and if they ever need his help, he'll be there to give it. The group then make a promise to never be apart when danger ever strikes from afar.

At the time that the Mandalorians attacked the republic in 3,964 BBY, Zack (who is now 5-years-old), Revan, Kayle, and Alek went to see the jedi masters and asked them to join in the fight with the mandalorians. But the council declined their request and said that they will not take part in the war. Zack and Alek then argued to the masters that it is their duty to protect the innocent from all danger, and that they should not stand by and do nothing. But the council said that the reason that they won't take place is because there is a vast dark presence that lingers beyond the unknown regions and will not fight until that threat comes. Revan and Kayle then asked them to help the people anyway, because what they are doing now is nothing but a cowardly tactic. Unfortunetly, the masters finally told them not to discuss this matter anymore, and ordered them to go back to their chambers. Reluctantly, Zack, Revan, Kayle, and Alek did as they were told, but as they walked back to their chambers, they then had a secret conversation to go to the mandalorian wars to save everyone. With everything ready for them, they head out to fight in the war, but not before making an announcement to all those in the jedi academy that they well fight to protect everyone and not stand by and do nothing. After the long speech, many of the jedi soon joined Zack, Revan, Kayle, and Alek to fight in the war and save the innocent, with the exception of the masters (except for Kavar), Bastila Shan, and Atris. Kain and Akuhiei, including Kallen and Shirley, even joined their cause, and soon followed them to their quest of stopping the Mandalorians.

At one point, when Zack, Revan, Kayle, and Alek were on a planet that was over-running with Mandalorians, Kain and Akuhiei tried to help them defeat the mass army. During that particular battle at hand, Kain and Akuhiei were presumed to have died in the skirmish, as Revan and the others couldn't feel their presence. Zack wanted to find them regardless, but the Revanchists were called for assistance from other worlds. Zack, filled with reluctance at the crisis at hand, decided to go with his friends to save the galaxy. As he left, Kain and Akuhiei survived, but were separated when captured by Sith Lords under the orders of their Sith Emperor Tenebrae.

During the time of the Mandalorian Wars in 3,962 BBY, when Kayle was making such good work on the battles, Zack wondered and if she might become a Jedi Knight very soon. Though Kayle said that it's up to the Council to decide if they'll let her become a Knight. However, Revan and Alek overheared the whole conversation and Revan said that he'll persuade the Council to make Kayle a Knight. Kayle said that that's not necessary, since she can wait until the Wars are over, but Revan says that she's more than worthy to become a Knight, since she's he's best commander and a good friend to everyone. As they went to the Council to promote Kayle to the rank of Jedi Knight, the Council members said that they aren't in agreement to promote Kayle to Knight quite yet, but as the conversation continued, Revan then tried to persuade them to promote her to Knight since she is a great asset to the fight in the Wars. They begin to wonder if they'll promote but are still in disagreement, until the many of the Jedi members of the Jedi Order said that they want Kayle to be a Knight. With that, the Council then promoted Kayle to Jedi Knight and everyone congratulated Kayle for finally becoming a Knight. However, Revan told Zack that he sensed that Atris didn't believed that Kayle deserved to be a Knight and thought that she's falling to the Darkside, and Revan thinks that she's beginning to get delussional. Zack says not to worry about it, since it's her business, but will soon try to correct her of it, with Revan agreeing.

In order to finish the war quickly in 3,960 BBY, Zack had an idea to create androids that could help him, Revan, Kayle, and Alek win the war. He had plenty of help from his friends and by no time, he succeeded in creating the Created Siblings: Michael Xargus, Nathan Xargus, Orian Xargus, Valka Xargus, and Suka Xargus. As they finished, they had the created siblings go to other planet that are being invaded or have been conquered by the mandalorians. With that done, Zack and the others went to finish the war by going to Malachor V, the place of the final battle. From there, Alek went to fight a horde of mandalorians, Kayle went to assist in the fight in the skies and space, while Zack and Revan went to defeat Mandalore the Ultimate once and for all.

As Zack and Revan finally clashed with Mandalore the Ultimate, they had their ships collieded and went for a brief fight with one another. Revan told Zack to stand back, as he will defeat Mandalore, but after moments from the battle, their ships ended up crashing to the surface of Malachor V. After the crash, Revan is seen fighting Mandalore with several injuries, with his blue lightsaber ignited, and with Mandalore looking without any sign of injuries or so much as a scratch. Zack tries to help Revan but is pushed back by his friend's force push. Revan tells him to run while he buys him time. Zack hesitates but does so. However, conflicted by a choice of abondoning his friend for his own life or to risk everything to save the life of a brother, Zack comes to choosing to stay by Revan's side and help in the fray. Mandalore proves to be too strong for Revan, as he has withstanded his lightsaber strikes, his punches, and his various Force Powers. Zack tries to attack Mandalore from behind but is taken aback by his demon-like strength. As Mandalore tries to kill Zack with a death blow, Revan instantly goes in between the two and is impaled by Mandalore's sword. Revan begins to coughs blood from his mouth and begs to Mandalore to kill him instead of Zack. Mandalore promises and prepares to kill Revan, but out of desperation and rage, Zack's Darksider is momentarily awaken and begins to crush Mandalore with every force power and and other unknown techniques. With Mandalore greatly injured, Zack prepares to finish him off, but is suddenly drained of his energy and is left defenseless against Mandalore, who grabs Zack tightly by the neck. But by the nick of time, Revan appears from behind and attacks Mandalore by the back with his lightsaber. both Mandalore, Zack and Revan fall from the breaking ground, and are about 100 feet away from impact. Zack is let go from Mandalore's hand and he fires a blaster to his head, greatly fazing him, and Revan dives down to Mandalore and finishes him off by stabbing him in the heart before they crash on the ground, and Zack lands on a soft rock location.

With the fight finally over, Revan tries to get Zack out of the area but is chased by hordes of mandalorians. As a desperate attempt to stop the mandalorians from escaping, Revan orders Kayle to activate the Mass Shadow Generator, to destroy the mandalorians. Alek manages to find Revan and Zack and helps them get on a ship to escape Malachor V before it is destroyed. From there, they go to the command ship where Kayle is waiting, along with her subordinate Bao-Dur. When the Mass Shadow Generator was activated, billions of mandalorians, Jedi, even the republic soldiers died from the planet's gruesome destruction, and Zack and his friends looked on. By that time, Kayle felt ill, and Zack asked her what was wrong. Kayle tries to answer, but passes out, and Alek and Revan immediately take her for medical treatment.

When Zack, Alek and the other Created Siblings arrived on a lanet that was attacked by Mandalorians, they found countless corpses of Mandalorians that were slain recently. Whebn searching for Michael, Zack found him but in a different form. Though Zack tried to reach him, Michael reacted in rage and went berserk. Alek and the Created Siblings arrive in time, and saw that Michael has transformed into a beast of destruction. Zack tries to calm Michael down, while the others try to subdue him from harming anybody. However, Michael, having his potential at its explosive peak, was too strong and powerful for the heroes to stop him. In a desperate effort, the Created Siblings resorted to destroy their brother, but Zack told them not to. Seeing that Michael seems to be holding something in his arms, Zack walks to him and Michael tries to kill him. However, just as he was about to kill his blood-brother and creator, Michael hesitated and Zack knew that something tore inside his heart. Zack, looking at what Michael was holding, realized that it was the body of a girl that died from the Mandalorian raid. Zack speaks to his blood-brother to restore him back to his senses, and gently closed the girl's eyes to rest in peace. Michael, now back to normal and in human form, weeps tears of sadness for not protecting Molly Robin, the girl of whom he is holding. With the others seeing this with sorrow over what happened, Zack prepares a grave for Molly, and Michael helps him as well. With the girl's grave done, Michael thanked his creator for saving his heart from oblivion. Zack, feeling a sense of guilt, told Michael that there is no reason to thank him, but is grateful nonetheless. After that, Zack, Alek and the Created Siblings leave the planet to return to Revan and Kayle.

With the war finally ended, Zack, Revan, Kayle, and Alek soon went to a nearby planet and had a celebration party with the other survivors of the mandalorian wars. In the morning, Zack wakes up to know that Revan and Alak are gone. He and Kayle, as well as the siblings looked to see where they were, but with no luck. Finally Zack went to their tent and found a letter made by Revan. As Zack and Kayle, and the siblings were at first confused as to why Revan and Alek had left, along with the other survivors. But as Zack opens the letter, he then finds out why:

"Everyone, I'm sorry that I left all of a sudden, and I bet you're probabley looking for right now, but I had to leave with Alek and the others. We headed our course to the Unknown Regions to find the hidden evil that caused the mandalorian wars, and vanquish it once and for all. The council didn't wish to get involve because they felt that there was a great force at work behind the Mandalorian Wars, and hadf manipulated the mandalorians to fight the galaxy. We're heading there to to rid it from the face of the universe for good. I only hope that you will all forgive me for leaving. But we will meet again in the future. Someday soon. And we'll be a family again, and that's a promise."

With that done, Zack, Kayle, and the siblings then wiped away their tears and have come to accept Revan's goal to save the galaxy. The gang goes to Corescant, but as they go there, the order announces for the survivors of the Mandalorian Wars to come before the council for trial. Hearing this, Kayle tells Zack and the siblings that she alone will go to the council to face her punishment. But Zack tells her that they'll come with her, as she is their friend. Kayle thanks Zack for this, but tells him that she only wants for Zack and the siblings to continue living from the Jedi Order, as if they were to go the council together, they would take Zack's lightsaber away and take the siblings for experimentation or to be disposed. After much convincing, Zack and the siblings agree to this but Zack also swears that no matter how far they may be from each other, they will never forget each other. The siblings also make a pledge to never forget each other, and if they do they'll use their memories to remember. With that done, Kayle goes to the council to face trial and Zack and the siblings go to erase every detail involving him and the others in the war. Zack, the siblings, and Kayle are seen seperately while smiling with determination.

Zack is seen on Coruscant and is training in his home. As he continues to train, Michael, Nathan and Orian are shown arriving at the front of the entrance and say hi. Zack welcomes them back home, and wonders what's going on today. Michael replies that they had a tiresome day, but Lily shows up and says that it was great, and Remote shows up with a the shopping supplies on his arms and shoulders. Zack hurries to help him with it, and they manage to get it all inside. Zack then asks Valka if she can help him with his training, which Valka says that she will, and leaves her meditation chamber. Suka then arrives and puts on a cheerful front for everyone. Nathan is the only one who gives off a cheery response, but Michael and Orian don't so much.

As the ship crashes into an unknown place, Zack is unconscious and dives into an ocean of memories. There, Zack sees Revan in the dream, and Revan seems to be calling out to him. Zack tries to reach him, but is unable to. A suddenly bright light engulfs Revan, and Zack cries out to him. Zack is then seen on Malachor V and sees Kayle there. Zack asks her on why she's there. Kayle doesn't say anything, but after a silent moment, she turns to Zack with a sad smile and says his name. Zack now talks to her, and as he does, another flash of light occurs. Zack is now in the Star Forge, and sees Malak, Alek Squint, and wonders why he can be here if he's dead. Alek looks to Zack and says to him that he's sorry for all of this. Zack is pushed even further to the core of memories, and ends up on a realm of war. There, Zack sees the lands and all that lies before it. He is shocked to see this and wonders on how this has happen. As he says this, everything spins out of control, and is placed into a world of countless wars that occured in past, present, and future. Zack sees the horrors and bloodsheds that have spread all over time, and tries to block this by closing his eyes. With that nightmare fading, Zack is awake and tries to get back up on his feet. He cleans himself, and after that, he wonders where the siblings are and is worried if they are hurt or lost. Zack looks around, and seems to be in his room. However, as he leaves out of there, he sees a massively dark and awful world of ruin and despair. Zack asks himself on how did this happen, and why. By that moment, Zack hears an absent voice, along with one that is very familier. Zack follows to where it is, and hopes to find his family.

As Zack continues to follow the voice, he sees ships destroyed and burned, and recognizes them from Malachor V as the Ravagers. Zack then suddenly senses a dark and hungry presence, and defends himself from an enemy that attacks him from behind. Zack backs away with Force Jump, and sees the man that attacked him. He reveals himself as Darth Nihilus, and tells Zack that he is here to devour him and his power, and they prepare to fight.

As they finally escape out of that nightmarish world, Zack and the siblings are stuck within a space-time dimension, and are struggling from the massive energies within the dimension. As they are engulfed within a shining light, the disturbance within the dimension sends a vastly powerful Power Levels that are sended throughout the infinite universe. At this time, Carth and Bastila are shown on Coruscant, and have felt this sudden strong pressure, and everyone else is scared. Brianna and Mical are stacking up holorecords of the Jedi Order and also sense this great power surging throughtout the galaxy. Dustil is seen on Korriban to rid himself of the evils of the planet, with the help of Mission and Griff, and they sense this great disturbance with unease worryment. Visas and Mira are seen with Shasa on the planet Manaan for scenary of the ocean planet, and sense this massive power in the galaxy. Atton is shown with Canderous on Dxun when slaying several dangerous animals, and wonder what is that uneasy pressure in the galaxy. Jolee, Juhani and Yuthera are seen on Kashyyyk with Zaalbar, and also sense some sort of unrest in the galaxy.

As Zack, his siblings, along with Sion and Kreia, are now out of the dimension, they crash into the surface of Naboo and smoke is seen from their location. Far from the location, an enormous castle is shown with a young girl in orange hair by the gardens, and witnesses a lot of smoke coming from the distance. She wonders who had crashed and hurries to see what happened. Back to the crash at hand, Zack wakes up with a headache, and asks the others if they are alright. Kreia says that, that was a very unpleasant landing for a kid to do, and Sion tells her that, if Zack hadn't piloted the ship, they would be dead from the dimensional warp space. Michael gets up and checks on his siblings. Nathan says he's fine, but looks hurt on the head. Orian says that they need some rest from this crash. Suka and Valka also agree with Orian on this. Lily says that she's fine, as she can handle anything, but Remote says that she's just saying that she does not look hurt. Zack gets to his left knee to get up, and suddenly, the orange-haired girl tries to help him up. Zack looks to her and somehow feels affection for her at first sight. Zack says thanks and stands up. Zack looks to her and begins to blush with embarressment, and the others seem to notice this with slight curiousity. Zack studders for a second but asks the girl on her name, to which she answers Selia Vanick. Zack now asks her on what planet their on. Selia says that their on Naboo, and were lucky enough to survive. She asks who was piloting their ship and everyone points their fingers to Zack, much to his discouragement. Selia just giggles and says that it was good to know that Zack was piloting the ship than the others, and Sion agrees to that, though Kreia objects to that. Nathan interrupts and asks the young girl on where can they stay until they can leave. Selia says that she would be happy to let them spend the night at her home, since it's a big castle to be in, and the others now see that she's a princess.

Upon visiting Selia's home, everyone is in awe and wished that they can live in a place like this. They enter the entrance of the grand hall and witness many fascinating objects to behold. Selia says to make themselves at home and relax, and out of the blue, Nathan dashes to the dining areas to have something to eat. Michael just glums from this, but Orian says that he'll be in the library area if anyone needs him. Valka and Suka go to the gardens to get some more sun, while Lily and Remote go to check some rooms to relax in. Zack now wonders on what to do next, but is curious if Selia might be around to talk. He asks her if they can look around the castle, while also wondering if there is a way to communicate someone to get them. Selia agrees to show Zack around, and holds his hand to guide him, which makes Zack blush and Selia giggling happily.

Zack's plans and strategies have now gone with perfect anticipation, and everyone is glad to have him in their battle. While this occurs, Death Scar is in great disbelief and outraged to see that his strategies have been anticipated by someone of his skill or greater, and wonders who this hero is. Death Scar orders his subordinates to ready the Gawain, as he intends to defeat this hero for causing his strategies to fall apart. Kallen asks him to let her aid him in this fight, but Death Scar says that he will take care of it. Before Kallen could continue any further, Bryan stops her by saying that Death Scar lost in a game of tactics, so it's his fight, not theirs. Death Scar now goes out the door and arrives to pilot his Gawain to combat the foe that he lost to in the battle.

Zack communicates with the A.M.G.s and the Created Siblings on how are things going on their end, and they reply that all has gone smoothly, and Revan and Kayle and their companions have also finish their work. Zack is glad to hear that, but by a moment, Siegfried that detects a large mobile suit coming their way, and Zack cuts off their communication to fight the incoming enemy. A starfighter shoots at them from the skies, and Zack and the Siegfried dodge its attacks and retaliate with their dual blasters. The starfighter easily evades them, and by surprise, transforms into a mobile suit that lunges at them. Zack activates his shield from the Siegfried, and the enemy mobile suit strikes at them with its left hand. They now distance themselves from each other, and Zack asks who the enemy adversary is. Death Scar identifies himself to Zack, and clarifies that he is fighting his mobile suit called Gawain. Death Scar asks him if he was the one that foiled his tactics, and Zack responds that he was, and even comments that his strategies almost reminded him of someone from his past. Death Scar wonders about that, but disregards it. Death Scar declares to Zack that he will kill him now, and perhaps take the mobile suit that he's piloting for research. Zack chuckles and is confused as to wonder why Death Scar won't ask him his name. Death Scar replies that he doesn't need to know his name to kill him. Zack draws his sword and prepares to fight Death Scar and the Gawain.

After the fight, Death Scar and Zack can barely be able to scratch each other, and their mobile suits are at a distance from each other.

As everyone looks on to Zack's resting body, he is then consumed within a dark aura that sends him into the Mental Realm in darkness. Zack witnesses the horror of his friends deaths, and his younger self cries in despair. The younger Zack says to himself that he couldn't save them, and the current Zack can't help but watch on. Zack then realizes that his younger self is then looking to him, but seems to be having his left hand clenching to his left eye. The younger Zack tells him that he just stood by and let everyone die, and he seems to be tearing his eye as he says this. He says that he's helpless to save a single life, and blood drips from the tearing of his left eye. He replies that if only Zack were stronger, than he wouldn't have to bear the pain and regret for the rest of his life, and Zack looks frightened by this. The younger Zack then reveals his left eye to be of a black scerla with a yellow iris, but as slitted as a cat's, and he responds that Zack should have more willpower and strength of heart, and everything turns to overwhelming dark energy.

As Kannra is in the Galactic Republic Art Collection, she is told by her Jedi Generals to decide a Personal Knight. As she needs a General to lead her troops in times of war. Kannra looks around the arts, but still wishes that there was one of Zack's art that he made some time ago. As she is still deciding, she is told again to choose, but still hesitant for a moment. As it is seen that Zack is fighting Akuhiei's Dark Wing unit, everyone tries to cut the broadcast, but Kannra requests them to let her see it til the very end, as she is focusing on Zack's performance, and the Jedi Generals wonder about this in silence.

After Zack manages to save the people of Coruscant, and fend off Akuhiei's Dark Wing Unit with everything he had in Dark Form, Kannra congratulates him in her mind for saving the people.

Zack, Selia, and Kannra finally return to Naboo, and land on the platform for their ship. They get off from the ship and walk to the castle. By this time, Zack asks Kannra that she can go back to the Republic, as she doesn't have to be here to accompany them. Kannra just replies with a slight smile that she came along to spend some quality time with Zack and Selia to have some fun once in a while. Selia holds onto Zack's left arm and says that they are going to have a great time together with her family. They arrive at the castle, and everyone gets ready for the feast. Kannra gets dressed fast, but hears a message from the comlink. Zack calls out to her that they are going now and for her to hurry on. Kannra says that she'll be there in a bit, and she gets her comlink. She gets a message from the Jedi Council to keep an eye out for Zack and to report any unusual activity of his conditions. Kannra is uneasy for this and tells them that she'll report soon. She turns off the comlink, and wonders if she should tell Zack about this. However, she just hurries on and gets ready for the feast.

Zack and the others are already in their seats, and he sees Kannra by the hallway. She asks if she's a little overdressed, but Zack thinks that she's very well dashing, which Selia agrees, and Vanessa says that she looks great, but Korin remains quiet, while Vayne just smiles. Everyone eats and talks, and Zack even gives off a little show for everyone, and everyone laughs and smiles for his acting, but Korin keeps this to himself. Zack, Selia, Vayne and Kannra are then shown by the fields and are talking much about their lives, and Korin continues to watch them silently from a distance. Zack asks Selia if she has ever considered that this path he has chosen could be dangerous for her and his friends and family. Selia asks him on why would that be, as he has protected everyone, and that should be a good thing. Kannra agrees with her, and even clarifies that his friends would even risk their lives for him. Zack thanks them for their support and smiles happily. The scene then changes to where Zack tries to ride on one of the animals, and Kannra and Selia watch with giggling entertainment. Zack keeps his balance about him, but eventually trips on the ground. Kannra and Selia see this with worry and go to him. Selia then goes to Zack's side and asks him if he's alright, which he laughs when she turns him around from the fun, and they end up rolling on the ground. They laugh with joy, and Kannra watches them with a smile.

They return back to the castle, and Zack heads for his room to change. Kannra gives him his spare clothes and heads to her room, while Selia does the same. It is by this time that Kannra is met up by Korin and she asks him if something is wrong. Korin says that it's nothing, but before he leaves, he says that Kannra sure has changed dramatically, which Kannra doesn't know why he would say that. Kannra goes into her room and hears the comlink. She gets it, but suddenly stops from pressing the message. After some careful thoughts to it, she puts it away in her pocket, and heads for dinner with the others. Zack then asks Vanessa on how were things going, and she replies that things were going perfectly, but is more happy to know on how their journey went. Kannra answers that their journey was hard and exhausting, but Zack says that it was hard but fun nonetheless. Selia smiles for Zack's optimism, and Vayne asks if he can travel with them. Vanessa tells Vayne that he's still too young for that, but Zack says that it's no problem, as he can defend him from any danger. Kannra pokes Zack on the forehead and just laughs and tells Zack that kids would only bring more trouble than it is worth. Zack agrees with her on that, and both of them smile at each other with joyful laughter. Kannra then looks to herself and finally thinks that Zack has the right to know. Kannra then wants to tell Zack something, and he wonders what it is. Kannra then goes to pulling out her comlink and that she says that he needs to know something and right now. But before she could pull out the comlink, Korin gets up from his seat and asks Kannra if she can speak with him in private. Kannra asks on what it is, but he insists that it is only between the two of them. She reluctantly agrees to this, but says to Zack that she'll be back to tell him, as she scruffles his hair, and Zack just smiles to her, and she does the same back to him.

Korin speaks with Kannra in private.

Korin just ignores their smiles at each other, and Kannra follows him to the hallway. They stop and Kannra leans back on the wall, and then she asks Korin on what is it he wants to speak to her about. Korin looks to her at the eyes, and can see that her nature has changed quite a lot. Korin tells her that she has become quite attached to that boy, and wonders if it's hindering her progress as a republic admiral. Kannra is wondering why he thinks this, and asks him why would Zack be the subject in this conversation. He tells her that she can't be attached to someone who she had met some time ago, and that it's her duty to serve the greater cause. Kannra tells him that Zack is the one person she can trust above all others, which is exactly why she chose him as her Personal Knight. However, Korin suspects that there is more to it than that, and wonders on how much is their relationship is on what length. She says that Zack is like a little brother to her, but some part of her says otherwise. Korin turns around and says that there's something that she needs to know, and Kannra looks to him on what would that be. Korin tells her that he's been informed by the Jedi Council that she was brought here to watch Zack closely, and Kannra gets affected by this with disbelief. She asks him on how long did he knew this, and wonders if this was from the beginning. Korin turns around to look at her in the eyes and says that he knew, because he was the one who gave them that order.

Shocked to know that Korin was the man that gave the order to the Jedi Council, she asks him, while keeping her anger in check, on why he gave them the order. He responds that it was to keep the boy in check, and if he becomes a threat, then it will be Kannra's responibility to deal with him. Kannra, stunned by the last words he just spoke out, wonders on what he meant by "deal with him", and Korin plainly points out on executing Zack with her own hands when the time is right. Kannra lets out her face of anger and disgust, as she punches the wall behind her, that she would never do such a thing to Zack of all people. Within the room where Zack and the others are, Zack asks Vanessa and Vayne on what's going on between Kannra and Korin. They reply that they don't know, and Selia gets worried about their private discussion. Back to the scene, Kannra then realizes that the reason why this is happening is because of what Zack displayed in the battle of Coruscant against Akuhiei, but points out to Korin that Zack only unleashed such a dark and devastating power was because the people he loved were in danger, and nothing more. Korin still remains unconvinced and states to Kannra that it's out of her power to change her duty to the Jedi and the Republic to a mere Personal Knight, and that she would do well to serve the cause for the greater good. Kannra, having heard enough, stomps away back to the others, and Korin just looks withing having to stop her. Kannra then slams open the doors and Vanessa asks her if something went wrong. Kannra tells Vanessa in low-anger that her husband a "real piece of work", and Vanessa is confused by her answer.

Back to the matter that she wanted to discuss with her Knight, Kannra activated the comlink in front of Zack to reveal all the recorded discussions by the Jedi Council. After knowing all the details, even the part that Korin mentioned about making the order to the Council about Zack's eventual predicament, everyone is greatly taken aback by this, except for Zack. Kannra told Zack that she was sorry for not telling him in the first place, and felt that he now has the right to know everything now. Zack looks to the comlink in silence, and Vanessa cannot believe that Korin would make such a command. Korin meely pointed out to her that it was to keep a secure peace to the galaxy, but Vanessa continued to argue about the matter. Selia asks Zack is he's unhappy about this, and places her hand on his shoulder. Seeing that he must be taken greatly by this, Kannra said that it was okay that he hates her now, and apologized again. However, Zack replied that he doesn't hate her, just that he's glad to know that she's being true to her feelings, and gives her a big smile of forgiveness. Kannra sees this with much redness to her face, and thanks him forhios words. Zack then asks Kannra on what will she tell the council, knowing that this was supposed to be a secret. Kannra assured him that she has no intention of giving any details to the Jedi, and will keep their time from them confidential. Korin tries to object to this, as keeping secrets will make her situation worse than it already is. Kannra boldly confirms that she is well aware of the risks, and everyone sees this with stunted surprise. After much time, Korin complied that she may do as she wishes, and leaves to his chambers.

Seeing Zack impaled through the chest, Kannra is devastated and a single tear drops from her left eye. Zack coughs off blood from his mouth, and Kallen just looks at him cold and impassive. She tells him coldly that this is what happens to those that insult Kain, and that it's about time to finish him for good. However, before she could finish him, Kannra strikes from behind with rage. Unfortunetely, her attack is halted by Kallen's ice shield. Kannra is then taken aback, and Kallen looks to her coldly, and Zack is looking at Kannra with agony and worry. Kallen comments that Kannra would try to attack her from behind her back, and wonders if she's trying to save Zack's life. Kannra shouts at her to let him go, or she'll slice her limbs off if she needs to. Kallen just grins with amusement, and replies that if she wants him back, then she'll have to kill her first. Depending if she can hold out from the damage that she had inflicted on her. Kannra obliges, and dashes straight to her. Zack then gets concerned and scared, and cries out to Kannra to keep away from Kallen. However, Kannra still runs to Kallen, and as she begins to strike, Zack cries out again for her to stop, and a flash of light occurs. Zack looks on with a face of shock, and as everything clears up, Kannra is seen pierced through the heart area by an ice spear, and Kallen just looks to her with eyes of coldness and no remorse. Kannra lands on the ground, and blood begins to pour out of her chest from the ice spear on her heart. Zack is shocked, horrified and devastated by this, and streams of tears begin to come out of his eyes in pain and sorrow. Kannra's face is then shown with blood from her mouth, her eyes are closed and doesn't seem to move. Kallen states that she had been careless for attack with no defenses, and that it's a simple way to rid of an enemy. Zack's head then lowers down to his torso, and seems to be motionless, and a sound of heartbeats occur within him. Kallen then clarifies this to be the end, while still looking at Kannra on the ground, and will dispose of Kannra's body into the void of space, and kill Zack for what he had done to Kain's body.

Zack transforms out of sorrow and rage!

All of a sudden, Zack's body gives off a powerful shockwaves that causes the planet to shake and rumble, and Kallen is shocked and surprise to feel this power. Kallen then hears a ominous growl from Zack's body, and she looks to him slowly on what is going with him. Zack's body seems to be giving off dark energies, and as he slowly raises his head, he turns into his dark form with a monstrous roar. Kallen gets terrified by this, and Zack pushes her away her his right hand with unimaginable strength, and her lightsaber is out from his chest. Kallen is speechless from his strength and manages to keep her balance from being thrown 100 feet away. Kallen keeps her sights on Zack, but as she keeps looking, she witnesses him transforming even further. Zack seems to be growling more ominously, and his body is slowly being fuelled by darkness. Kallen then sees the skies turning dark from the clouds, and feels a powerful and dark presence about to be unleashed. Zack now transforms further, and his eyes glow with a roar. Zack now grips himself with vast dark energies surrounding him, and lets out a monstrous roar and howl, and vast power levels explodes from his body. A massive column of darkness is now shot into the skies, and everything in the skies and space turns to darkness and night. As it clears from Zack's location, he has now turned into his full dark form with wings and seems to be tears on his face, and eyes bright with fury.

Kallen tries to keep her guard up, but Zack lunges at her with great impact on where he was standing. As he lunges like a dark demon towards her, he instantly appears by Kallen's front and strikes her with full force. Kallen barely blocks it, but ends up being slashed across the left arm. Small amounts of blood stream off her forearm, and she tries to stay calm. Zack looks to her with killing intent, and lunges at her again. Kallen now unleashes a blizzard waves of ice sickles at Zack, but they shatter by his overwhelming power level pressure.

Zack fights Kallen while in dark form.

Zack manipulates the weather and nature of the planet to his disposal.

Zack is then still in prepared stance, and Kallen keeps her ground. As the surroundings continue to swirl, Kallen then thinks that this must be Zack's power of the dark, and at it's fullest. Zack still looks to her with growling thirst, and Kallen states that, even if he has transformed now, he will not defeat her with the whole planet of ice at her disposal. She continues to throw attack after attack on Zack, but the latter just evades them over and over again. Zack then jumps to the skies and stands on an ice tower, while Kallen just looks on. Zack just looks to her with a snarling growl, and Kallen puts her Ice Staff of Fury in ready position. However, Zack just pulls out his right arm slowly, and Kallen is confused but still gets ready for something. Zack raises his arm to the skies, and as he opens his grip, the skies are then consumed in clouds and creates a vortex of with an eye of the storm at the center. Kallen is stunned by this and finds this unbelievable for Zack to manipulate the very fabric of a planet with such power, and that it is extremely similiar to her's and Kain's power. But not wanting to admit being overwhelmed, Kallen lunges to Zack, and Zack retaliates with dark flames shooting out from his mouth as a streaming wave.

As they battle continues, the skies then give off dark streams to the planet and everything gets drained away of life. Kallen senses that the planet is dying for some unknown reason, and she is pushed away by Zack from the air. She crashes by the grounds near a river, and Zack lunges after her.

Zack now gets inside his Siegfried unit, and it too transforms into the dark form.

With the dark smokes clearing, Zack walks to the center, and he sees that Kallen is still alive. Kallen had suffered many cuts and slashes on her arms and legs, and even to her chest and neck area. She coughs blood from her mouth perfusely, and is in great pain from the attack. She looks to Zack slowly with only her left eye open, and Zack growls with her being scared with tears streaming out of her eyes. Zack now grabs her by the neck on the ground with his left hand, and picks her up slowly halfway way from her feet and knees. She squirms from the massive internal and external pain, and Zack keeps his grip on her while looking to her eyes. She tries to beg with a weakened voice for him to spare her, but Zack seems to put his grip into a strangle. She can't help but being strangled to causing more blood from her mouth, and Zack now starts to snarl with a sudden thirst for blood while still staring at her. He then looks to her neck and can sees blood still flowing perfectly in her veins. Zack then backs his head slowly, and as it seems that Kallen would be freed, Zack out of nowhere, tears the cloth from her neck, grabs her right shoulder tightly with his right arm and ferociously bites down on her left neck area hard and painfully, as she screams from the massive pain and agony, and loud thunder and lightning sounds then occur. Zack keeps his bite on her neck deepy, while his left arm is on her back and cuttingly grinds there with blood dripping out to keep her from getting loose, and as more blood pours out and being sucked by him, he now gains her memories and powers and the information on the Disciples of the Mask and their leader. He even finds out of their secret weapon, and now has nothing else to gain from Kallen. He now releases his bite on Kallen and roars with monstrous fury to the skies, and Kallen simultaneously passes out from the massive blood loss with tears on her face and eyes closed.

Zack carries Kannra to recovery.

Zack now drops Kallen on the ground, and keeps a silent growl as he looks to the skies. After that, Zack now turns his head to where Kannra is, and his expression turns into one of sorrow and regret. He turns around and walks to her to be beside her. He now stands next to Kannra, and he kneels down with his right leg to see her condition. Greatly devastated by her injured state, he places his right hand on her head to see if she's indeed dead. However, after a moment, he gasps in surprise and sees that she's still alive, but needs medical treatment as soon as possible. He picks her up with his arms, and he summons Siegfried to get them to Naboo. He then turns his attention to Kannra, and, while he's relieved to see her still alive, he begins to wish that he should have protected her more, and black-colored tears comes down from his eyes.

Zack now gets back on the Siegfried with Kannra in his care and leaves the planet, and everything goes back to normal, but with all the destruction still left behind on the planet's surface, the skies vague, and leaving Kallen at a great life and death risk. Kain and his children are now shown with their small fleet in space. Kain asks Kaden if all the reports have been filled in already. Kaden says that they have been brought in, and Dawn says that she'll check on them later. Kain is glad to hear this, and gives Bryan the files for the Rex Mobile Suit. Kain says that they should be expecting Death Stalker to arrive soon, and everyone gets prepared for their arrival. Kain then wonders on how Kallen is doing, and asks Dawn if she had called her earlier. Dawn says that her mother was busy and didn't want to bother. Kaden says that Kallen always has too many things to handle on her ice planets, and clarifies that she usually calls from her homes. Kain gets slightly concerned and tries to call her by comlink. He then realizes that its not responding, and tries to contact her via telepathy by placing his fingers on his forehead. Kaden asks him if something is wrong, and Kain says that he can't contact her, and finds this hard to believe. Dawn suggests that they should go check on her, and Kaden agrees. Kain gets his kids into the Executioner, and everyone gets ready to check on Kallen.

Kain and the rest arrive by Lunavex, and Kain says that they should be able to contact her now. However, Bryan tries to call her, but got nothing. Kain tries to see through the clouds, and as everyone looks, they witness the destruction that had occured there. Kain is in distressed and worries for Kallen's safety. Kaden sees a massive crater by Kallen's destroyed ice castle, and sees that her dismantled Gurren Seiten is within sight. Kain and his kids and Bryan go to the location, and find the mobile suit greatly damaged. Kain looks for Kallen within the crater, and finds, to his horror, Kallen's massively injured body. Kain cries out to her and runs to get her. Kallen recognizes that voice, and tries to looks but can't. Kain holds her and is in tears on her condition. Kaden sees her with shock, and Dawn is horrified and cries with her hands clapped to her mouth. Bryan then calls for the medics, and they run to them for Kallen's survival. Kain asks her on who or what did this to her, but as she tries to answer, she ends up blacking out again. The medics get there and place her on the strether and hurry on to take her for medical recovery. Kain curses to himself for what has happened, but by that instant, his arm begins to give off static flashes within his mind, and he goes through intense pain and mental images of Zack's dark form, and Kain's eyes rapidly turn from Perfect Obedience to normal and passes out as a result.

The scene changes to the Shadow Devastator slowly heading for Coruscant, and then shows everyone running for the Ebon Hawk, while Zack continues to put the Shadow Devastator to break apart, and finishes it. The Shadow Devastator is now on red alert, and the entire base station begins to fall apart from within. As everyone continues to hurry, numerous rumbles occur and Selia falls onto one her knees. Kannra helps her up, and Michael says that they should hurry, and they hurry on. As everyone hurries, the rest of the areas within the Shadow Devastator crumble and explode within their compartments, which also goes for the stairs and elevators. Zack is then shown running, but is halted by numerous shadow monsters. He ends up transforming into his dark form and slaughters them to get to his friends. Everyone finally gets to the Ebon Hawk, but Selia waits by the entry door for Zack. everyone gets to their areas, and Kannra informs Carth that everyone is alright. Carth asks her on what is happening right now, and Kannra replies that the Shadow Devastator is beginning to break apart before it can hit Coruscant. Carth asks "What?!" with a shocked question, and Atton says that Zack is doing this so that Coruscant won't be destroyed when the space station crashes into its surface. Kannra then tells Carth that they're going to wait for Zack to get back here. Carth asks her in a state of unease (and cowardice) that, if the station is breaking apart, then shouldn't they leave before it crushes them with it. Kannra answers with a shouting reply that she well aware of the situation, but if she says to wait for Zack, then they wait. The scene changes again into the Shadow Devastator, and everything is now about to be in crumbling scrap metal. Mission and Griff shout that a falling compartment is falling above them, and Carth asks on what they said, and a falling piece of the Shadow Devastator indeed crashes on them by the wing compartment, but they manage to stay intact. Carth and asks Kannra for them to leave now, but Kannra hesistates and asks herself on where could Zack be, and bites down on her gloved pinky fingernail. Selia is then shown still by the entry door, and whispers Zack's name and waiting for his return to them.

Carth shouts and asks Kannra again to leave, but Kannra replies to wait for Zack. However, seeing that they might get crushed for waiting, Carth disobeys Kannra's order and puts the Ebon Hawk to getting out of the breaking space station. Kannra grabs a hold onto a chair, and Selia holds tight onto the entry door line connector, and cries out to Zack, as they ships runs out of there. Kannra asks Carth in protest on what he's doing, to which he replies to her that they have to get out of here alive, and she asks on what about Zack getting out of the station alive. Selia then gets to a terminal and asks Carth, in concern and fear for Zack's return, that they can't leave Zack and to please wait for him. But Carth yells out if she and Kannra have lost their minds, and asks if they want to be in that mess, and clarifies that they are leaving now. Selia cries out desperately that he can't, but by that moment, Selia hears a familiar voice (Dark Zack) in her head that she musn't worry. The voice tells her that it will be alright, and for her to see with her heart. Selia then wonders about this, and she closes her eyes to see. She then sees Zack in his full dark form, and that he's running to get back to his friends and family. Selia then opens her eyes with a face of surprise, and turns back to the terminal to tell Carth to head for the port side and 400 meters. Carth asks on what she said, but Selia says to just hurry on it. Carth asks on what does she means by hurry, but Kannra interrupts and asks on port side and 400 meters, and Selia hears this with great relief. Kannra pushes Carth aside, and takes control of the Ebon Hawk and heads to where Selia told them. They head for the port side in high speed, and Selia looks on. She then sees a large burn through on the port side compartment wall, and it explodes into a dark explosion. She then sees Zack coming out of the fire, and still in his dark form. He then reaches out for Selia, and his form dissipates back to normal. Selia reaches out for his hand, and they are now on hold of each other. Everyone sees them, and Kannra is relieved of Seeing Zack back, and heads back there, while having Atton ride the ship. The ship still goes in high speeds to escape the Shadow Devastator's destruction, and Zack's and Selia's grip on each other's arms are starting to loosen. Zack tries to hold on, and Selia tries to do so with tears slightly coming out from her face. As they were about to be out of strength from holding on, Kannra grabs Zack's arm, and they are surprised and glad to see her. They pull Zack in, and the entry door closes tight. They fall onto the floor breathless, and Zack thanks them. Kannra smils nd says that she's glad to see him alive and back, and Selia agrees with tears of joy and hugs Zack. Zack blushes, and Kannra's glad to see them together from this danger.

The Ebon Hawk continues to escape from the Shadow Devastator's braking structure, and Atton is riding surpurbly from all the falling pieces. They see a large compartment falling, and Suka warns Atton about it, and Atton says that he's going in. He successfully evades it, an they finally leave the Shadow Devastator through the long tunnel into space. Everyone celebrates from escape that hellhole, but it all comes to an unexpected end. Within the Shadow Devastator, a massive energy erupts within the core, and it overloads far more than anticipated. It is then shown that, from the battle with the mobile suits that fought the experimental Sazabi, the Sazabi had unleashed too much energy in the Shadow Devastator that it caused a massive chain reaction within its power structure. Everyone sees the Shadow Devastator being absorbed within itself, and a massive light starts to resonates within it. Akuhiei is then seen within his Dark Wing unit and seems indifferent from the unexpected occurance that has been set to motion. Kain then reports on what is happening to Kallen, and tells her to hurry everyone out of the area. Back on the Ebon Hawk, Kannra asks on what is happening, and Zack replies that the Shadow Devastator is overloading on unimaginable levels. He even says that it's about to unleash its super weapon on them and Coruscant. After a long moment, the space station finally unleashes laser attack on the Ebon Hawk, but has become much more massive and destructive. As they are about to be hit, the A.M.G.s activate their shield systems to block the attack from reaching the Ebon Hawk, but appears to be breaking down from its power. Michael, Revan, Kayle and Alek tells the others to escape before it takes them all with them. But at that moment, Zack gets a reading that the power it's unleashing will not only destroy them and Coruscant as it originally intended, but will destroy the entire universe, and everyone hears this with shock and fright. The Created Siblings then think for a moment and realize that they'll have to risk their lives to save everyone, and ask Zack to let them go with the others. However, Zack just vanishes out of thin air, and everyone notices this with concern, but mostly Kannra and Selia.

Siegfried is then shown within the hanger bay, and thinks to himself on what will he do, as those words haunt him from what others had said when peace is finally achieved. He looks to his hands, and after a moment, sees Zack walking into the bay. He asks him if he intends to go out there right now, and Zack replies that only he himself can stop it, but doesn't know if they'll survive this. Zack enters the Siegfried unit, and the unit tells him that he doesn't know either, but what matters now is to save their friends, and Zack agrees with a smile, and the cockpit closes.

Mission and Griff get a reading that someone has opened the hanger bay. Carth shouts out on who's the moron that's trying to burn them from the inside out. Kayle then sees who it is, and everyone looks on from the camera system. Zack and the Siegfried unit now appear from the outside of the Ebon Hawk and leap to where the other mobile suits are. He uses the Force to push them away from the blast, and takes the attack unto themselves, and everyone looks on with stunned and worry. Zack and the Siegfried lunge even further within the blast, and Kannra asks him on what he's doing, and Zack replies that they will try to stop the attack somehow with their Spiral Trans System energy, and for everyone to get further back from the massive destructive energy before it somehow reaches them if all else fails. But Selia calls out to him and says that he and the Siegfried will be incinerated if they try to do that, and begs Zack to stop this and come back. The Siegfried now begins to suffer heavy burns and damage, and the communication system begin to crumble. Before it begins to cut offline, Zack and the Siegfried then say that they have been happy to have been in their service, and they lower their heads by their crossed arms, and everything cuts off. Atton then states that all communications have been cut, Kannra is deeply shakened by this, and Selia cries out to Zack with tears beginning to come out from her eyes. At this time, the Created Siblings are then shown with their hands glowing, the other of Zack's moble suits then resonate with glowing energies, and even Kain's mobile suits begin to resonate brightly of their energies from their bodies. The pilots in their V.E.S. Mobile Suits see this with confusion, Akuhiei wonders what is happening with his Dark Wing and the same goes for Kallen's Gurren Seiten, and Kain's Gawain and Sazabi also glow brightly, along with his own android body and he seem confused on what this is. Cosmo Blue and Cosmo Purple also witness their bodies glowing with resonating energies, but are unable to determine what is causing this. In an uncertain location, a hidden mobile suit also resonates with energy, and Gabriel is seen by his desk, looking fascinatingly at the Crystal Compass of God that shines with energy. Back to the moment at hand, the Siegfried now cracks and is even more damaged than before, and Selia cries out again, though the communications have been cut, for Zack to stop out of desperation. The Siegfried then begins to glow ominously, and it opens its arms wide, and the Spiral Trans System then changes into the Spiral Trans Fusion System. The Siegfried then quickly raises its head, and its eyes glow with bursting light, and its entire body structure then explodes into a massive shining light. Everyone sees this with disbelief, and shining feathers seem to be coming from the Siegfried's shining light. The Siegfried, now coursing with limitless light and energies, now streams through the Shadow Devastator's attack, and heads for its core. As it finally reaches into it, the Siegfried and Zack now attempt to absorb its energies and save his friends and Coruscant from destruction. All the energies then get sucked within the space station, and within a sudden flash, the space station explodes into a massive dome of flashing light.

As the flash clears, everyone seems to be still alive, and Kannra wonders if Zack succeeded in saving them all. Selia looks to the screens, but cannot know if Zack survived. Everyone becomes scared for Zack, but Atton--checking through the last screen online--tries to put it on display. As the screen shows, everyone looks on with surprise, and the Siegfried is seen within the scattered remains of the space station, and appears to be good as new. Zack is then shown in display, and Selia calls out his name in joy. Zack raises his head and just smiles at his friends with his right thumb in saving the day.

With the Shadow Devastator destroyed for good, everything goes back to normal on Coruscant and the galaxy. However, events occur at this time and from now on. Darth Slither is seen on a skyscrapper building, and seems to be enjoying himself for Zack's selfless heroism. The other Sith'arian Superiors then show up, and Foxxko wonders if it's over. Aeon says that it is, but Neon knows that it has only begun.

The scene then changes to where Michael informs that the situation on Coruscant is over, and everything is going back to normal smoothly. Jesus says that's good, but Michael says that there is a vortex of evil dwelling about, and an obsession that lingers within the Spiral Force. Michael then raises his head and clarifies that the Ragnos Brothers are being consumed by it slowly. God hears Michael's words and is shocked to know that the Ragnos Brothers still live. Michael says that they will not die. Not until "that day" arrives. God then orders Michael to return, for he has a task for him, and Michael is confused but follows the order.

Kain and Kallen, along with their followers, then return to their base. Kain tells Kallen that he needs to return to his body, but Kallen tells him that it hasn't fully recovered yet. Kain tells her that, regardless of the damage, he needs it to resurrect the Sith'ari of the Sith. Bryan and Kallen then realize what he confirmed, and Kain reveals that he intends to resurrect Adas, the long-dead king of the Sith from nearly 25,000 years ago.

Akuhiei and his followers are then shown from an unidentified location in space, and Akuhiei expresses that the show Zack displayed was very entertaining. Kraven and the Disciples of the Mask look to Akuhiei with amusement, but Larxen still hates losing to Zack and had wished he had died from the attempt. Akuhiei then tells PredAlien to have everyone gather, for they are going to join up with Kain and the others to resurrect Adas, and PredAlien complies. Akuhiei then chuckles silently in his sinister grin, and Cosmo Blue asks her master if something is on his mind. Akuhiei replies that he looks forward to Zack's Darksider being born soon, and can't wait to witness the "Final Reunion" to occur. Cosmo Purple tells Akuhiei that it's their duty to prevent that from happening, and Akuhiei retorts that he knows that. They prepare to go into hyperspace, and Akuhiei then says to himself that he'll look forward to Zack's union with the darkness and ends with his insane laughter, as he and the others go to join up with Kain.

The scene then changes back to Gabriel's office, and the White and Black Cloaks appear within the room in the far reaches of space. White Cloak informs that Akuhiei and Kain have left Coruscant, and appear to be retreating to rejoin their numbers. Gabriel expresses a sigh of relief, and says that it took ten years for them to finally do so, and he closes his eyes while looking at the space glass and places his hands on his back. Black Cloak then speaks up and suspects that they intend to resurrect Adas to increase their chances to strengthen the Sith Empire. Gabriel replies that they intent to do so, and the White Cloak suspects the possibility that they will resurrect their dead father, Marka Ragnos when they bring Adas back to life, and if they succeed they will be invincible. Gabriel, however, corrects that it will not happen, for even they do not have that much power. For the Ragnos Brothers are merely keys to unlocking Zack's true potential. However, Gabriel admits that they cannot deny that they can manipulate the fabric of time and space to a minor extent, but that is what he and the others are for. Gabriel then says that they need several requirements to resurrect their father, and Adas is one of them. He then opens his eyes and says with a grin that Kain's and Akuhiei's wills and powers shine with such wonderous darkness and evil, and seems to be disappointed that they have been given such minor roles. Gabriel then glances at the Cloaks and asks them if they think so, too.

Back on the Ebon Hawk, everyone speaks to each other about the events that have passed, and Kannra seems to be criticizing Carth for nearly abondoning Zack from the Shadow Devastator. As the Created Siblings try to sort this situation out, the A.M.G.s then inform everyone that Zack and the Siegfried just got inside the ship and Zack is heading for the bridge to see his friends safe. Zack now enters the bridge, and everyone looks to him with relief, and Zack responds with a wave of his hand and a smile. Everyone runs to congratulate him, and Kannra gives him a hug that makes Zack blush slightly. Selia then gives a tearfully joyful smile and welcomes him back, and Zack replies that it's good to be back.

On the planet Coruscant, several Jedi Knights fall in defeat, and continue to groan with immense pain. Vrook is seen beside a window, but pays little attention to the fallen Jedi Knights. Kain and Akuhiei are then shown walking passed the Knights and say to Vrook that they sure do hate thickheaded people. Vrook gives them his apologizes, and says that he will give them the information that they need. Vrook tells them that they materias that they will need lies within the realm of Sith'aria itself. They then stop walking and stop with their backs turned on Vrook, and the Jedi Master says that this way may prove to be troublesome if they end up against the Sith'arian Superiors themselves. Kain asks him with his head slightly turns to him but only half way if that's right, and Vrook replies that he speaks honestly. Akuhiei then says that that's fine, and for him to swear on these. Immediately from saying this, Akuhiei pulls out several cards, and they appear to be stained in blood, revealing to belonged to the other masters, and he tosses them to Vrook that land on the floor in front of him. Vrook asks them on why they are doing this, and Kain replies with a paining groan that they need the Sith'anite Materia. As the "Final Reunion" is coming. Kain then turns to look at Vrook, with his eyes turning into the Perfect Obedience, and says that they need them. Vrook is confused by this "Final Reunion" that Kain just spoke of, and Kain's eyes fade back to normal, but is in groaning pain as a result. Akuhiei places his hand on his shoulder to calm him down, and he now speaks to Vrook. Akuhiei says that the others that have been in their service shall all assemble, and that together they shall take revenge against the realm of Sith'aria. He continues to say that they have already send out the invitations, but it would appear that someone is holding out the prizes. Vrook asks him on these "Invitations", and Kain points out of the Dark Stigma, and sees that Vrook knows all too well about it, and Vrook places his hand to his neck that Zack had choked him from. Akuhiei further clarifies that the Evil Legacy of the power of darkness lives on in the Spiral Force and makes it happen. He continues to say in a now slight sorrow that it has done so much for them, yet they do not know how to manifest it for themselves, and Vrook slightly scratches the Dark Stigma on his neck. Akuhiei then wonders on what can they do now, for he, Kain and the others are merely remnants of an old and ancient evil, merely remnants of the Evil Legacy. He now stands in front of Vrook and points out that, until they gain the Sith'anite Materia and gain the power for themselves, they cannot be strong even to stop it. He says with a slithering voice that the Dark Stigma and the Evil Legacy are not enough for them, not to stop the "Final Reunion" from completing. Vrook wonders on what they had meant by that, and Kain and Akuhiei looked at each other for a second. They exclaim to Vrook that he surely had noticed it from before, or from being within their presence. They start to walk towards him, and they stop from a foot away from Vrook and now bow down on their knees and hands to the floor. They then rip off the clothing that is covering their injuries from the Dark Stigma that they got from Zack, and a sudden rumble begins to occur within a few seconds. The Ragnos Brothers then begin to raise their heads, and as they do so, an ominous pressure is then felt from their bodies, and static flashes of Zack's full dark form begins to resonate from their beings, along with everything becoming dark within the flashes. They look to Vrook, and their faces are shown with Zack's dark and menacing face and grin for hunger from the static flashes. Vrook looks to them with shock and horror, with his Dark Stigma giving him a deathly painful sensation, and the dark apparation of Zack's form gives off a powerful and sinister aura that shakles the very fabric of space with its face ever so frightening with several static flashes.

Seeing that Zack has absorbed the Crystal Compass of God that Gabriel had in his possession, the Ragnos Brothers question Gabriel on why he handed over the Compass to Zack. Gabriel merely grins and states out that it is to open the door to Sith'aria for them, so it wouldn't matter how much of a risk it was to do so. Kain then backs up for a moment and realizes that Gabriel intended to give Zack the Compass from the beginning, and lashes out at Gabriel on why didn't he inform them about it to begin with. Gabriel merely chuckles and replies that it was not for them to know, and they are merely keys to begin with.

As Zack found out that the Republic intends on mass murdering the citizens of Sith'aria, he messages to the siblings through his comlink that the soldiers and jedi (along with the Sith, who are allying the Republic and the Jedi) are going to kill the innocents and gets them to save them and stop their upcoming attacks. With the message sent, Zack rushes to help the civilians from danger.

As Zack manages to help the citizens escape, he runs into a couple of teenagers and even meets a boy named Edward Maverick, and his older twin sister, Hiila Maverick. He tells them that the Republic plans on attacking the Sith'arians and murder innocent lives. Edward then helps Zack find a way to evacuate the others to safety, but Zack runs into a massive horde of soldiers. Due to the welcoming of Valka, Zack leads the way and disposes the soldiers on his half, while Valka takes care of the other. Valka Looks to her right and notices that Zack is helping the kids to safety, something she lightly smiles about. The soldiers asks her who she is and if she's with the kid in blue and white. Valka ponders and answers yes. The leading soldier then tells her that is she thinks she's going to stop them from hunting them down, then she's dead wrong, and that they'll take care of her in five minutes. Valka, however, replies that she won't be giving them THAT much time. The soldiers then wonder what she means, and Valka pulls her sword out and says that this won't take five minutes. ONLY FIVE SECONDS, while simultaneously charges a thundering lightning strike in her blade. The soldiers cowar in fear and are struck by Valka's attack, which sends it miles away, wiping out the rest.

As Zack and the rest go to safety, they wonder into a hotel building and stay there for a while. As Edward helps the others with food and supplies, he notices that Zack looks worried and down, and Hiila tells him to see him while she takes care of the rest. He goes to him and finds him at the top of the building, looking at the horizen. Edward asks him if something's bothering him. Zack then says that he's confused, that he's been in this for almost a month, yet doesn't know if what's right and wrong, good or evil. Edward tells him that it isn't about knowing which path to choose, it's about what you believe in your heart, not by your mind. Edward even tells Zack to remember that it's not about WHAT you are, it's about WHO you are. Zack then asks him if he's a Sith'arian, though Edward answers that he's not "a" Sith'arian, but an Honorary Sith'arian. Honorary Sith'arians are species that have been accepted by the Sith'arian to live and coexist with them. He even says that he's in a family of Honoraries, though they are also royalty. The Sith'arians take the appearances of humans, but also have forms and powers that are beyond imagination. He even reveals that, while Edward looks human, he's actually 75% while also a quarter of something else. As the conversation ends, Zacks then informs the rest to get ready to go, and the others and Edward and Hiila get their things. Before leaving, Edward then uses an ability to call for help and tells Zack to hurry.

As Zack and the others go to the rendevoues point, but have been stopped by another horde of soldiers. Edward then uses his ability to transform his right glove into a cyber arm. He easily defeats ten soldiers until one of them held his baby sister as a hostage. Edward hesitates and is blasted on the back by a blaster. Zack sees the teenagers in peril, and seem to have his eyes turned black and yellow irises, while also groaning in pain when his head is lowered and appears to be transforming. As the soldier begins to shoot Edward in the head, he and the rest are swiftly sliced to pieces, while Edward hold his baby sister and the rest look on to Zack in terror. The soldiers are being killed in seconds and as the scene clears, Zack is shown in a dark, monstrous form that roars and keeps killing every last enemy in sight. As Zack finally kills the last one, he roars with immense ferocity and rage, but finally goes back to normal and sees what lays before him.

Witnessing the slaughter, Zack questions himself even further if he's even human. Edward and Hiila come to Zack's side and assure him that it wasn't his fault. Zack asks Edward if HE's possibly a Sith'arian, though Edward doesn't know either. Hiila then tells him not to worry about it right now, because they need to get out of here. Now over the pressure, Zack continues to lead the others away. But on his way, Zack runs into the entire Jedi Order, along with his other friends. Vrook comes to the front and question Zack on what he's doing. Zack answers that he's helping them to safety, but Vrook tells him that his order was to exterminate the Sith'arians, not help them. Zack, however, retorts that there was no order of killing innocent civilians. Vrook back talks anger to him that he has no right to question orders, only follow them. And Zack answers that THAT order was wrong the moment he saw who the people were. Vrook, however, remains disuaded, and reminds him that the Sith'arians are an evil and arrogant race that deserves to be eradicated. Zack says that they aren't being evil and arrogant, him and the soldiers and Jedi are, with Vrook and the rest being offended. Zack goes on to saying that the soldiers he encountered, and have killed, were attempting to not only murder the men but also the women and children, and revealed that he gave the message to the Created Siblings to save the people before a single one was murdered. Vrook then tells him that the punishment of disloyalty is death. He even tells him that a Jedi should relay on his mind and loyalties, not on ridiculous ideals and adventures. He tells him that if he insists on going on life like a fool, he'll never live to see the light of day. And says that wisdom and justice has it's price, and the price of what's going on now is of no consequence and if the Sith'arians are to be exterminated, then it's a price he'll accept. After hearing enough, and remembering what Edward said to him ("It's not about WHAT you, it's about WHO you are."), Zack says he understands. Vrook asks him if he's sure. Zack replies yes, and if that is what wisdom and justice takes, then, he'd rather be a fool for life, while also showing Viloura saying it simultaneously. Edward and the teenagers are surprised to hear Zack say that, along with the Created Siblings, and Revan, Kayle and the others. Zack then tells Vrook and the rest that he has no intention of following a path like that, and will do whatever it takes to save everyone. For that's...whats in his heart. Vrook comments that Zack is truly a fool to the core, no different from his mother. He then orders the Jedi and soldiers to kill him and the rest, but the Created Siblings and Revan, Kayle, Alek, and the companions (excluding Carth and Bastila) get in the way.

Seeing this, the council members asks what their doing, and Revan tells them to stop. Kayle then says that this is wrong, and Alek responds that if they want to kill Zack, they'll have to get through them first. Atris reminds them that the Jedi code is to have no attachments, but Kayle reminds her that she had been attached to her since the Wars, with Atris hesitating and completely speechless from hearing this. Revan asks the Jedi and the others to stop this, but Vrook steps into the front. Vrook tells Revan and Kayle to not confuse the others to their tricks, and that he and the Jedi Masters will deal with them if they decide to join the enemy. Vandar, Kavar and the other Jedi Masters become hesitant of this, but have no choice but to do so for justice. Alek asks them if they intend to do this, and Zhar apologizes and says that they have to do this. Confirmed by this response, Alek declares that he and the others will not let them harm his friends or the innocent civilians of Sith'aria. Out of nowhere, a male voice says that he likes Alek's courage to defend his friends, and the voice applauds him for it. Zack, Revan, Kayle, Alek, Kreia, the Created Siblings and the others heroes then look to see who is speaking, and they now see that it is the Sith'arian Superiors, and that it was the man named Aeon Xen that was speaking just now. Neon Xen, Aeon's younger twin brother, also admires their determination to defend the innocent, and Foxxko expresses a friendly hello to everyone, with Darth Slither waving his hand, while the other Superiors just cross their arms to their chests.

Shocked by their appearance in this stage, Vrook wonders what they intend to do. The Sith'arian Superiors then teleport in front of Zack and his friends, and Vrook and his followers are startled by their presence so close to them. Zack asks Aeon if they are going to fight for them, but Aeon says that they came to see if the civilians are safe, and expresses that he's relieved to see that they are fine. Neon even thanks Zack for helping the teenagers, and Zack smiles from the gratitude. Darth Slither then wonders if Atton is being lazy right now, but Atton lashes at him that he's fighting for his friends right now. Slither then expresses that he's glad to see him, but wonders, in an innocent look, if Atton is mad for impaling him in the chest a while ago. Atton says that he's not, but is not happy for the reminder. Suka then tells Foxxko that she's surprised to see him unharmed, but wonders if she should kick his furry ass again for the provoke he made on her. Foxxko just playfully compliments the idea, but would rather not fight her again. Valka asks Eagalo if all of those battles that the others had with them was nothing but a test, and Eagalo says that it was. Kreia then speculated that that was the case, and Valka remains silent from this. Tiguro then speaks up for Remote and tells him that he has the bravery to stand up to him from before, and Remote responds that he just did so for his first creator's life. Liono asks why Carth and Bastila aren't with their friends, and Lizardo thinks that they believe this justice is a right one, but is actually a lie to begin with. Kayle then asks Lizardo if he can see the truth through all this, and he responds that he does. Dustil then asks Carth and Bastila why they aren't with their friends, and asks them if they intend to follow wrong path. Taking this with great offense, Bastila tells him that their work is not wrong, and Carth agrees to this as well. Selene is in disbelief and asks Carth if he was the one who made the order. Taken by this, Zack, the Created Siblings, and the Sith'arian Superiors then wonder on what "order" Carth made. Carth then replies that he did, and that the order was to kill all the inhabitants of Sith'aria, and everyone, but mostly Zack, Liono and Edward are taken by shock and horror. Edward then questions why Carth would do such an evil choice, and Carth coldly replies that it's none of his concern, and it is for peace, and the price for one species is irrelevent, and Bastila expresses that she agreed to it, too. Knowing this now, Edward steps in and asks Zack and the Superiors to let him take down Carth and Bastila, and Dustil and Selene wonder if he's sure about that, and Edward replies that he is sure.

While this takes place, a massive explosion takes place elsewhere, and Zack receives a report from Siegfried that the Sith are about to bombarde the planet of Sith'aria with all their arsenal and mobile suits, and Zack knew what they needed to do. The Revan and Kayle told Zack that they and the A.M.G.s will take care of them, and the other Revanchists members will handle the grunt armies. Zack complied to their request, but the Republic soldiers and Jedi will not let them. However, Aeon and Neon get in their way, and told them that they will have to get passed them first. Aeon then told Zack that he needs to get to the center of Sith'aria's city, for there's some people he needs to meet and talk to. Zack agrees and heads off.

After clearing the areas of threats and meeting his family, Zack finally arrive into battle, and the Created Siblings are cheerful to see him, while Revan, Kayle, Alek, Kreia and the others are glad to see him. He now lunges to the Bahamut from a construction building, and it turns to face him. Zack makes a strike to it, and the Bahamut catches his sword by its teeth. However, the sword resonates with Zack's aura, and it lets go of the blade before it could cause any damage to the Bahamut. Zack realizes that it can't stand the Sword of Destiny's power, and lunges at its face. The Bahamut flies away from Zack, but the boy proves to be too fast for it. He strikes it, and the Bahamut defends itself with its left arm. The damage is too great, and it receives massive injury that causes blood to spew out. Zack flies around it and continues to attack it. The Bahamut generate a sphere-like barrier, but Zack strike of his sword proves too much of a match to the barrier, and ends up shattering. As they are still in the air from the buildings, Zack throws numerous strikes at the Bahamut, and the Bahamut ends up receiving more damage from Zack's unimaginable might. Zack then soars to its head and slashes it in the face with his Sword of Destiny. The attack was so great that it had sended the Bahamut to fall and crash into the center of the large Sith'arian city. Zack stands in the air from where he had strucked the dragon, and everyone sees the Bahamut from the crash site. The Bahamut tries to get up, and as it does, it gives an angered and monstrous roar that can be heared from afar. As it does this, its mouth begins to burn with vast energies, and everyone realizes that its about to use its ultimate attack. The Bahamut suddenly jumps to the skies and further flies above to unleash a great amount of power, and its body has healed completely for one last attack.

Zack sees that the Bahamut has now reached an extremely high reach in the skies, and goes to stop its ultimate attack. Revan, Kayle, Alek and the others now tell Zack to go stop it, and they give him their combine power. The Bahamut has finally reached its stop, and continues to charge its atttack. The Sith'arian Superiors then appear before Zack and help him go after the dragon by lended him their combine might. The Bahamut is soon about to reach its peak, and the Created Siblings appear before Zack with the A.M.G.s and lend him their powers and tell him to hold nothing back. Zack is now fueling with vast energies, and the Bahamut finally unleashes its ultimate attack: Fire & Shadow Mega Flare. An attack that is a massive growing sphere of shadow and fire, and is about the size that could destroy more than one large city by impact. Zack now impacts on the attack, and is soaring through its energies. Everyone looks to the skies for Zack, and as he sees through it all, everything becomes bright with light, and he sees two people (Abyss and Aurora) reaching out for his hand. He holds them, and his arm courses with unknown power, and they ask him if he's ready. With everything clearing, Zack has broken through the Mega Flare, and it is completely absorbed into his sword. He sees the Bahamut with unflinching focus, and it lunges at him with a roar of fury. Before it can hit him, Zack easily dodges it and he pierces it with his sword on its back, that is fueled with his power, and he makes a slash that turns everything into a flash. The light fades, and the Bahamut is then seen howling in deathy pain, and its body is resonating with its combine auras. Zack looks at it, and it breaks back into the Infernal Guardian and the Sinister Guardian. They are now burning from their power, and as they are engulfed, they shatter into mass of energy and are instantly transferred into Zack's Sword of Destiny.

Zack now lands from the skies onto a platform, and sees that everyone is alright from a distance and gives a smile of relief. He hears a man saying that he has did well for one of dark descent, and Zack looks to his back and sees that it was Vrook Lamar. Zack asks him with a sour face on why he's here and not fighting. Vrook tells him that he's here to kill him. Zack remains unflinched by this and stands up to his feet. Zack looks to the horizens and thinks for a slight moment. He tells Vrook that he doesn't feel like dying today, and faces him and prepares to fight. Vrook pulls out his lightsaber from his belt area and ignites it for battle. They now lunge at each other and their blades clash in a bright flash.

While Zack is still fighting Vrook to keep him away from the others in their fights, Edward tries to come up with a trap to keep Vrook and the others who followed from destorying Sith'aria and its civilians. After much thought and strategy, Edward now goes in to help Zack in his fight. Zack fights Vrook with every ounce of his fighting skill, and Vrook fights at full strength with the Force empowering his body's prowess. However, Vrook is already on the verge of defeat, but continues to persist. Edward then shows up and strikes Vrook from behind. The latter easily dodges this, and kicks him away into a broken building. Zack sees this with distress and cries out to Edward, and Edward is seen with a red cloth on him and rubble and is trying to get up to help. Vrook appears before him and states that it's time to put him out of his misery. Edward just smirks and Vrook wonders on what is he smiling about. Edward tells him that he fell for his trap, and he quickly grabs him by the throat with his cybernetic right arm, and a large Sith'arian symbol circle glows around them. Vrook gets stunned by this, and Edward calls out the incantations and a column of blue energy engulfs them within the targeted location that reaches the skies above. As it clears, Vrook is heavily damaged, and Edward is seen by the distance and completely unharmed by the trap. Edward asks him to give up, for he doesn't want to continue fighting him in his current state. Vrook feels insulted by this and yells out to him to not underestimate him, for he is far from beaten. However, Zack appears behind him and easily strikes him down to the point where he falls unconscious. Zack thanks Edward, and the latter says that he wanted to help out a friend and both of them smile at each other. However, their victory is short lived, as the Ragnos Brothers appear with their Devil Brotherhood and the Disciples of the Mask, and Edward is shocked to see them alive and Kain, even after he defeated him and his Sazabi with the Siegfried. Kain and Akuhiei are impressed to see that their armies have been defeated so easily, and states out that there is no more need to be here anymore. They make their leave, but invite Zack to chase them, but will have to get passed their followers first. Zack obliges, but Edward tells him out of concern that it may be a trap. Zack regardlessly tells him that he'll be fine, and for him to look after the others. After much thought, Edward agrees and goes to help his friends.

Kain and Akuhiei get on their riders and they tell Zack to hurry, if he wants to get them before they escape. He go in high speeds, and Zack gets on his rider to go after them. The Brotherhood then wonders if they should stop Zack now, and the Disciples say that they should, but they will kill him once and for all this time. They now chase after Zack, and Zack goes after the Ragnos Brothers throughout the highways. As he continues to chase them, the Devil Brotherhood and the Disciples of the Mask go after Zack in shrouds of darkness. They attack him with few of their numbers, and Zack senses them. He fends them off with his Sword of Destiny, and they also use their weapons against him. After several moments, the Devil Brotherhood and the Disciples of the mask go all out on Zack, but were utterly defeated by his terrifying might. Zack now goes in high speeds that lead him to a tunnel that will help him catch up to Kain and Akuhiei.

Zack now enters the tunnel, and by that moment, Bryan and PredAlien are shown behind him in an attempt to stop him from reaching Kain and Akuhiei. Bryan puts his rider to Zack's left and strikes at him with his left arm. Zack blocks it with his sword and tries to slash at Bryan. Bryan manages to evade it, but the former ends up with a slight wound to his right arm. PredAlien now rides to Zack's right and fires several shots to incapacitate him. Zack, however, immediately pulls out his blaster to counter the shots, and even sends several that nearly hit the PredAlien. Bryan then lunges out from his rider to attack Zack from his distraction, but Zack, who puts his rider on auto-piot immediately, hops onto his rider and blocks Bryan's cowardly strike. Bryan makes several punches and kicks to Zack, but the oy easily dodges them and gives Bryan a slash to the left shoulder. Bryan then jumps away from Zack to his rider, but discontinues his fight against him, and instead goes further ahead of him and PredAlien. PredAlien now fights Zack with his shoulder gun and plasma shots, and Zack counters them all with his guns. They then strike at each other with Zack's sword and PredAlien's spear. They make several attacks, and now put their weapons in weapon-lock. Meanwhile, Bryan is now at a distance from them, and he punches the ground with his left arm and holds unto it, thus swings his rider around and tossing it towards Zack and the PredAlien. Zack and the PredAlien continue to strike at each other, and then place their weapon in lock again. Immediately from this, Zack sees the rider heading for them, and PredAlien grins. He now backs away with his rider from Zack and leans down to avoid being hit by the tossed rider and gives Zack a single shot from his shoulder gun. However, Zack jumps from his rider, thus avoiding the shot, and going to slash at the tossed rider. A shine of light occurs from his sword, and as he goes upside down, he slices through the rider, and it splits in two. Bryan Fuery then appears before Zack and strikes at him with his right fist. However, Zack instantly appears behind him and kicks him to the sliced rider. Bryan grabs onto the rider, but notices immediately that its about explode, and it does so suddenly. PredAlien looks to Bryan to see if he survived, and out of the explosion, Bryan goes in high speeds to strike at Zack. Zack sees him coming and blocks his attack. He then jumps to the air, and Bryan makes several strikes but to no avail. PredAlien then immediately gets onto Zack's rider and fires several plasma shots to Zack and lunges at him to the air. Zack quickly deflects all the plasma shots, and now sees that Bryan and PredAlien are now in his front and back. They strike at him simultaneously, and Zack manages to block them together. They grin at Zack, but by a split second, they are taken aback by his strength and his sword seems to be giving off a shifting aura. Zack's sword then generates shining energies that empower it, and he makes an immediate 360 degree slsh of his sword, and a instant light occurs on them. Bryan is shown with a slash to his chest and body, while PredAlien is shown with his spear in two and his body heavily injured. They are now thrown to the ground from their inflicted wounds, while Zack jumps back to his rider.

Zack now goes straight for th end of the tunnel, while Bryan and PredAlien are now unable to fight in their current condition. However, when they look behind them, they see the Devil Brotherhood and the Disciple of the Mask going after Zack to stop him, and Bryan and PredAlien see this as a combined opportunity to truly rid of Zack for good. They now hop onto the PredAlien's rider, and they lead the Devil Brotherhood and the Disciples of the Mask to Zack. But unknown to them, the Created Siblings and the A.M.G.s are now standing in front of the end of the tunnel, and Michael asks his siblings if their bombs have enough bite to them. While the rest are unsure, the A.M.G.s ask Remote about it. Remote says that its Zack's technology at its finest. Nathan and Orian now see that he had made them, and Remote says that, if nothing else, they'll at least be flashy. Siegfried says that sounds fantastic, and Remotes knows that Siegfried loves that with a reply. Michael then declares that it looks like today, their clocking out early. After several seconds, Zack now gets out of the tunnel, and passes by his friends in instant speed. As Bryan, PredAlien, and the others are about to get out from the tunnel, they all see the Created Siblings and the A.M.G.s, and the scene changes to Michael smirking and a massive explosion of colors occur. Kain and Akuhiei then realizes immediately that their followers are now defeated, and then get more shock to see that Zack has now catched to them. Zack now lunges from his rider and strikes at the Ragnos Brothers from the air. The Ragnos Brothers pull out thier weapons to block his attack, but as they do so, Zack's strength is now far stronger then theirs and he sends them flying away with only a single swing of his sword, thus having them crash into the spot were they had entered Sith'aria. Zack gets back to his rider and heads to their location to finish the job.

Zack finally reaches the spot where the door to Sith'aria had been opened and gets out of his rider to confront Kain and Akuhiei. He sees them at a distance, and they see him as well. Kain and Akuhiei call out to him that they have now came back to where they started, and wonder if this will be their final battleground. Zack replies that he's not sure but asks them on what will happen now. They just give a slight grin and answer that their strengths and darksiders will tell them. Zack looks to them with a face of pity and comments that he guesses a remnant of evil wouldn't know either. They look to him and seem to be affected by his response. They ask him if so what if they're puppets, and their arms begin to resonate and burn with energy as they grip their hands. They look to their arms and reply "Once upon a time...", and Zack puts himself on the defensive. They now have their attentions on him and declare "...You were too!!!", and they now have their Infernal Twister and Shadow Reaver unleashed at Zack, as they have instantly transformed into their darksider forms from saying this. Zack evades their attacks and heads straight at them. They clash at each other with their weapons, and put themselves into weapon-lock, and they see something at the skies. Zack's friends have arrived on the enormous Ebon Hawk ship, and the Ragnos Brothers distance themselves from Zack, but the latter goes after them. They continue to attack each other, but the Ragnos Brothers can't leave a single cut on Zack, despite being empowered and healed by their darksider forms. They are then a distance from Zack and they are then in battle stance, and Zack does the same.

Inside the Ebon Hawk, Edward is shown with the others and tells Zack that he's brought him some Sith'anite Materia. However, the ship gets a little off balance, and Edward nearly drops the box that contains the Sith'anite Materia. Edward asks Atton to be careful, as the Materia would surely destroy the ship if they break. Atton apologizes and says that they will find a place to land this thing. One of the Sith'arian superiors, Aeon Xen, says that Zack can handle this alone. Edward hears this with a slight confusion. Orochi clarifies that Kain and Akuhiei are nothing more than remnants on evil, even in their darksider forms. He continues to say that they can think of them as a sort of larval form of things, as it shows Zack still fighting the Ragnos Brothers and seems to be having the advantage to some extent. Kairo then asks him in a childish manner if they are some sort of undeveloped insects, but Tyranno tells him to get serious. Revan and Kayle then wonder if they are going to let their darksiders take full control and go all out. Neon replies that they may get stronger like that and rejuvenate their bodies that way for one last battle, but that would mean that they can't go back to normal for a long period of time, and Revan and Kayle seems to agree on this. Kairo gets confused and wonders what will they do if they cannot help Zack out. Eagalo tells Kairo to leave this conversation to the matured ones, and Kairo tells him to put his beak where it belongs, and Liono just sighs with his fingers to his eyebrows. Tiguro just says that they grown ups don't get this either, but Viloura interrupts that Zack seems to have been getting stronger from all his battles, and happens to have got his strength from his will power, and that his own darksider has been helping him from within himself, and Kraynos seems to understand this. Viloura continues to speak, while it shows Zack fighting the Ragnos Brothers from platforms to buildings, that Zack has the strength to endure all the struggles and hardships that have followed, and even reminds her and the others that he has the same spark of determination that they had from so many years ago. The scene goes back to the others in the Ebon Hawk, and the Xen Brothers say that Zack has about 10 minutes to end this fight, and that they'll have to tell him that his other friends have left Sith'aria to remain safe, and that the Ragnos Brothers' friends have also abandoned this realm to save themselves.

Zack is then shown battling the Ragnos Brothers by the side of a tall building, and they are soon about to end this. They continue to fight, and Zack is now at a distance from them, and doesn't even notice the Ebon Hawk behind him. He gives a 1 second smirk, and prepares his Sword of Destiny for a last shot at beating them. He lunges at them, and they deliver each other their strikes. However, Zack is gradually giving them more injuries on them than it would be on him, and the Ragnos Brothers are very frustrated by it. They now place themselves at a great distance from Zack, and Zack looks to them with full determination, while the Ragnos Brothers are simply angered from being unable to harm him. They now fuel themselves with their powers, and even energize their weapons with the Infernal Twister and Shadow Reaver. Zack places himself on the defensive, and waits for their move. The Ragnos Brothers are now at full-power, and they jump backwards into the skies, and place out their weapons. Zack sees this, but keeps his focus on him. They now burn with their overwhelming energies, and they are engulfed in streams of power at Zack. Zack now places his sword to his left hand, and it is fueled with vast energies from his own being. It is then now charging, and Zack places it back with his prepared stance, and his eyes are now resonating with determination and power. The Ragnos Brothers are shown with their faces within their power streams, and are about to strike at Zack. Now at full-power, Zack's body bursts of vast and powerful energies, and as they are about to strike at him, he spins with his sword that courses with power, and an instant flash occurs. Kain and Akuhiei are drastically slashed by Zack's sudden strike and vast shining waves from his sword, and Zack maintains his position.

The two are then crashed onto the platforms from a great distance, and are back instantly into their normal but massively damaged and injuredly bloody bodies. Kain and Akuhiei try to get to their feet, but can't seem to even get on their own knees. Zack now leaps to their location, and he sees them with an unflinched face. Kain and Akuhiei are in desparation, and without thinking, they use the little power they had to fire Cerungas at Zack, but the boy easily neutralizes them with a single swing his sword. Zack slowly walks to them, and they try to get away by crawling on the floor. As they try to get away, the Ragnos Brothers try to call forth their darksiders, but only receive utter silence. Seeing that they may die from Zack's wrath or from their injured bodies, they try to call out for someone with their telepathy, but there is no answer. Zack now stops by them, and just stares to wonder what will the next action take now. Kain and Akuhiei look at him with gasping fright, but by surprise, Zack places out his hand to help them. However, they suddenly fall from the ground that they were on that suddenly crumbles, and they feel as though they are about to die. But by a twist of events, they see numerous orbs of Sith'anite Materia, and they reach out with the Force to obtain them. They now have them within their grasp, but out of surprise and shock, they are suddenly engulfed in evil energies from within their bodies, and they cry out in massive pain and agony from the orbs that burns their bodies.

Zack sees them being consumed, and everyone from the Ebon Hawk, even Edward, witnesss this with stunned fright as they have landed their ship. Two large energy column erupt from the locations that were from the Ragnos Brothers, and streams of energy now go to where Zack is. Zack jumps away from them, and they land onto where he was standing from. Zack lands on a platform from the energies, and sees familiar people from the energy source. As it clears, it is revealed to be that of Inferno and Night Terror. Zack is shocked to see them back, and they grin at Zack from the distance. They suddenly vanish, and Zack realizes that they are behind him. He guards himself from the back, and they strike. Zack had successfully blocked their attack, but the darksiders are dismisssive of this. Zack distances himself from them, and sees that they have somehow got more powerful from the Sith'anite Materia that Kain and Akuhiei had obtained by luck. The darksiders tell Zack that it has been a while since they last saw him, and they thank him for the Sith'anite Materia that their originals had gained. They now declare this to be Zack's last battle, and for him to be ready for it. Zack gets uneasy and gets himself ready for a real fight, but then senses something strange from his amulet. He hears a familiar voice (Dark Zack) speaking to him, and says that he has to let him take this fight, but Zack hesitates for a moment. The darksiders attack him by surprise, and Zack dodges them by jumping away. Seeing no other way, Zack agrees to let the voice fight for him, but only to protect those he loves. The voice says that that is the exact reason why he will fight for him, and that its name is Dark Zack. Zack's amulet then resonates with dark energies, and his face is then looking away, and his body seems to be fueling with dark streams of energies.

As Inferno and Night Terror look to Zack, Zack slowly turns his head to them, and seems to be going through his dark forms with a grin. He turns into his spreading dark form, and says "Our reunion.", and he shifts into his full dark form from static flashes, and says in a ominous dark voice "I'll bet you're dying to watch.", and they darksiders realize on what he meant from this: the "Final Reunion" that they had feared to come. They lunge at Zack to finish him, but Zack places his hand on his heart area, and groans from the pain, as the darkness resonates from his body with several more static flashes. Zack continues to fall and lands subtley on the platforms, and as the darksiders lunge at him in speeds, Zack places his arms out to defend himself. And by that moment, their attacks are stopped instantly by Zack's hands with one last instant static flash, and his form has changed suddenly with dark wings, and the atmosphere has changed as well. Zack's sword then emerges from his hands by the darksiders' weapons, but it changes into a dark sword from dark energies. Inferno and Night Terror see this, and as they look to Zack, he replies "Good to see you...", and he slowly raises his head and says "brothers.", and is now in his Darksider form, Dark Zack himself.

He looks to them with a sinister grin, and they are shocked to see him transformed. Dark Zack takes them aback, and swings his sword swiftly, and they are thrown away from his sheer force of strength. The darksiders are then thrown to the top of the building, and they appear to be wounded by their chest areas. Dark Zack flies to the skies and lands at a distance from them on a higher platform of the building they are located. He looks to them with his smile still on his face, and Inferno and Night Terror are not pleased of what had occured to them. Dark Zack notices that their powers are greatly diminished from their originals' bodies that they are under control of, due to absorbing the power of the Sith'anite Materia, and says that that's too bad with a look of pity, but still having his grin about himself. They asks him on what he wants, and that if he desires to devour them to increase his powers. However, Dark Zack clarifies that he has no desire to devour such filth and vile darksiders who have no sense of heart. He continues to say that his desires are completely different from theirs, and states that he is finally able to see the real world for the first time in his own body, as he looks to the skies. He now says to them that, what he desires the most, is to protect those that Zack cherishes in his heart, and eliminate those that would harm those that Zack loves, and he makes a grinning smile that reveals his sharply jagged teeth. Just as his family has done for all this time. He stretches out his right arm to the skies, and opens his hand, which causes a massive universal-wide vortex of dark clouds, and Inferno and Night Terror are stunned by this to great extent. Dark Zack then clarifies that he will even have to use the full power of darkness to do that for Zack, and that he'll have to banish those that tried to slaughter the Sith'arians from Sith'aria. The darksiders then asks him on what will then happen to those in his care for this unusual heroic act of his. Dark Zack just looks to them with a more sinister grin and slitted eyes that, that will just be left to their imaginations, if they have hearts to know the answers. Dark Zack now grips his palm, with thunder and lightning occuring from this in the skies, and he dashes towards them in high speeds, and the darksiders do so as well. They draw out their weapons, and clash against each other, with a instant flash of light occuring from this upon their impact.

As the battle between the darksiders continue, the clouds become ever more darker with lightning and thunder occuring, while the darkness from within the skies by Dark Zack's power then spreads with streams of darkness that feeds off the remaining bodies of the people that had attempted to murder the Sith'arians from existance, while also going after those that are alive and devour them into the darkness. While this occurs, the areas are also being rejuvenated to their original states from the darkness that is of Dark Zack's overwhelming power. Everyone sees this with great disbelief, and Selia wonders if they is really Zack's dark power. As the power of darkness spreads all around the areas, flashbacks of Dark Zack's dark possission forms show up, and Dark Zack is then seen battling the darksiders from building to building and swings his sword that sends them flying away. They try to regain their balance, but they see Dark Zack lunging at them from a great distance, and he slices them to the one of the skyscrapers and they crash into them as a result. With the result of them being within the tallest building. Inferno is angered by being overwhelmed by someone who's very presence has been concealed for a long time. Dark Zack then jumps into the building that they are in from the broken wall, and lunges at them to attack. They exchange blows, but Inferno and Night Terror are unable to inflict damage to Dark Zack. Dark Zack then dashes across the rooms, and the Darksiders have a troubled time of catching him on their sights. Night Terror then hears Dark Zack attacking them from a distance, and they prepare to defend themselves. However, Dark Zack throws sword attack after another, and the darksiders have a hard time defending themselves. They end up destroying nearly everything within the building, and they lock their weapons together, which causes a shockwave within their location. Dark Zack is impressed by their survival, and asks them on where did they manage to survive this much time outside their originals' bodies. They just tell him that it's no business of his, and they try to decapacitate him in front and back. However, Dark Zack dodges this, and kicks them out of the building with sheer force of strength.

They are now outside again, but have now suffered even more massive damage. Dark Zack flies to their current location, and strikes with his sword. They manage to block it, but are being pushed by his vast power. They continue to throw attack after attack, and the darksiders even unleash their Inferno Twister and Shadow Reaver attacks on Dark Zack, but the latter just vanishes out of sight from their attacks. Dark Zack appears before them by standing firmly on a pole, while Inferno and Night Terror lunge at him, but miss. Dark Zack keeps his grin about him, and flies to the large skyscrapers, with the darksiders following suit. Dark Zack looks to them and says that he just thought of a wonderful present for them, and he turns around and slices off a skyscraper piece that is sended to them. They manage to destroy it before it could hit them, but have lost sight of Dark Zack. They are then near the skyscraper, and Dark Zack attacks them out of nowhere. They clash their weapons and Dark Zack asks them with a sinister smile if he shall give them despair. They continue to attack each other, but Dark Zack causes more damage to them than the other way around. He then distances himself from them on a tall skyscraper edge, and the darksiders look to him frustrated anger. Dark Zack looks to them with his hair flowing from the breeze of the atmosphere, and he tells them to be on their knees, as he wants them both to beg for forgiveness. He then satisfactly looks to the skyscrapers high areas, and they suddenly break apart and explode from the dark lightning that striked them from the skies, and Dark Zack looks to them with arms open with triumph and spreaded wings. Inferno and Night Terror then lunge after him, and Dark Zack leaps to the broken pieces. He then slices them instantly, and they scatter into more pieces that causes debris and dark energies to surround them.

The Darksiders then slashes after each piece of the dubris, and Dark Zack slashes one in front of them to attack. They prepare to fight again, but Dark Zack vanishes out of sight. Dark Zack then appears behind them and attacks. They fight in like what seems to be an eternity, but Dark Zack is proven to be too much for them, and Inferno and Night Terror seems to be in trouble from his might. They then attack simultaneously at Dark Zack, but the latter stops their weapons with his bare hands. They are stunned, and are then attacked across the chest again by Dark Zack's sword filled with dark energies. Seeing that they are in no way of matching up to him, they then unleash a massive dome of destructive energies to distract Dark Zack for them to escape from him. Dark Zack, who is completely unharmed, sees them running away, and frowns as the debris and destruction falls to the gounds from the skies and causes massive impact onto the grounds. Inferno and Night Terror then land on a high platform of a building, but Inferno has had too much energy out of his system. Night Terror then notices that Dark Zack is on their tail, but sees Zack's friends nearby. The darksiders then attempt to attack Zack's friends to make Dark Zack lose his focus. However, Dark Zack appears before them and stops their attacks. They get into a lock on their weapons, and Dark Zack turns them around and pushes them away to the ground. They are then clashing attack after attack, and Night Terror and Inferno, out of desparation, unleash their Cerunga blasts on Selia, Edward and the others. Dark Zack sees this with distress, and teleports to save them. He succeeds in neutralizing their blasts with a swing of his sword in his right hand, but the darksiders appears before him. They struck at Dark Zack, and the latter blocks their attacks with his left arm. They finally come to the conclusion that Dark Zack's weakness is Zack's friends. Dark Zack is concerned by this, and they wonder if they should have the pleasure of taking them away from him and Zack. Dark Zack takes this to shock, as his eyes are pinted sharp, and sees Zack's happy memories with his friends and family shifting his his head.

Dark Zack then grabs on to their weapons, and being fuelled by the desire to protect, pushes them away even further than before. They are off balance from this and are in disbelief with much shock. Dark Zack then looks to them with pity and says "I pity you. You two just don't get it at all.". The darksiders ignore this and attack Dark Zack with fury and might. However, Dark Zack dodges them easily and kicks them to the skies with his strength. He then positions himself and lunges at them in high speeds. He readies his sword by switching it to his left hand, sprouts his wings even wider and declares "There's not a single thing you both cherish!!!". Dark Zack's sword is then fueled with darkness as it spins it, and Inferno and Night Terror ready themselves. Out of surprise, Dark Zack's power in the skies then forms symbols of the sith'arians as a massive dome, and they surround the darksiders from escaping with chains of darkness. Inferno and Night Terror are stunned by this, and Dark Zack is then shown resonating with darkness, and his eyes glowing with bright fury. He uses the attack "Darkness Finisher", which from his sword summons seven different colored swords forms around the darksiders, and he takes each one to strike at them. Thus causing chains of sealing on the darksiders from defending themselves from the final attack. They are greatly wounded by this, the hero darksider appears above them, and Dark Zack fuels his sword with the darkness from the skies and his own being, as his wings spread with darkness and declares it as "Darkness Getsuga", and strikes them both within an enormous wave of darkness within the dome. The attack then dissipates and Dark Zack is then shown on the platform that he lands at in swift speeds, along with a single swing of his sword of dark energies, and is now looking to Inferno and Night Terror and says to them "Stay where you both belong. In the depths of evil.". The skies then shine of light, everything looks back to perfect shape, and the darksiders are then being consumed by their power, but not before saying with their wings open wide "We will... Never stay there forever.", and they fade away into nothing from then on.

Zack has now turned into a blazingly, newly powerful form that is now called, Instints Form. Grievous questions on what this is, but Zack soon makes a screaming roar that greatly shatters the glass surroundings and puts the Revolutionary Droids to to massive stun and malfunction from 100,000 miles away from the planet, to the skies and space, to the point that they can't operate properly, nor be able to fight. Grievous is shocked and confused to know how powerful Zack has become and can barely stand his ground against the vastly powerful shockwaves. He even sees a monstrous aura that somehow forms into that of a raging beast, which is actually that of Dark Zack's face. Zack then attacks the War Droids with his burning arms and claws, along with his legs and feets. He moves faster than the droids can accurate, and are being torn up from all over the place.

Seeing on how things are going, Grievous has no choice but to fight Zack to a dual. He then pulls out his lightsabers and prepares for battle. Zacks goes in high speeds and gives Grievous several strikes, to which the latter can only block a few. Grievous then tries to impale or decapacitate Zack in any way he can. Seeing his opportunity, Grievous then delivers the killing move, which Zack merely gives a quick grin. Zack is then dismembered, leaving his arms and legs severed from his body. Grievous takes the moment to laughs and boasting on how great his strength has become. He then turns his attention to Zack's friends to kill them, but is suddenly attacked from behind, and sees that Zack's body has regenerated, much to his shock and horror. Zack's body has come back to it's completely unscathed self, and he admits that that was a good attack that Grievous just did to his body. But reminds him that he's dealing with a strong opponent, not a pig for slaughter. He then place his left hand on his face and gives a short laugh, commenting that this is the first time that he's been dismembered, since he started training with the Sith'arians. Zack begins to laugh more and tells Grievous not to let his guard down, because has no intention of holding back anymore. He then removes his hand from his face and reveals his face to show that his eyes have become blank and gives a blazing aura shockwave to distract Grievous and attacks him at a fast rate than before. Zack then gives Grievous a clawing punch that sends him flying past the sky. Grievous is shocked to know that Zack really is stronger than he ever was before. Zack then tells Grievous that he's not done yet and shows that he's growing wings on his back and instantly appears behind Grievous, and gives a strong burning attack that throws him back to the War Tower. Enraged to see that he can't seem to kill Zack, Grievous goes on the desparate move to unleash the fortress' true power: The Revolutionary Multi-Cannon. He unleashes it's power, but because of Zack's new found power, he grins and effortlessly deflects and reflects it's attack back at the Revolutionary Armies and destroys the surrounding areas. Grievous tries to see through the massive smoke and dust, and as it clears, Zack is not where he was. Wondering where he is, Zack shows up from above and gives Grievous the fatal blow that leaves him incapacitated and unable to continue. However, Zack's grin goes away and brutally attacks Grievous in a rage, shattering his armor and limbs. Zack then delivers the final blow to Grievous that completely renders him crippled and bloody all over, along with his face being shown.

Having finally taken down Grievous, Zack then goes to finally kill Grievous with his Blazing Strike. But due to his friends begging him to stop, he takes a moment to decide and even asks his darksider if he should kill him. His darksider tells him that it's his choice, though he'll gladly do it for him but it's Zack's choice to do so or not. After a moment of thinking, Zack puts away his hand and reverts back to his normal self. However, Zack gives a hard headbutt to Grievous' face, giving him a battered and blood-filled face, and Zack let's go of him. Zack then pulls out a Prison Transfer Card and tranfers Grievous into it. Zack tells to the card that though he paired him, he will decide on what to do with him after the war.

As Zack awakens from his nightmare, he sees everyone around him and that they were worried for him from his condition. Zack thanks them, but immediately realizes that Selia is nowhere to be seen, nor can he sense her. He then asks his friends if they know where she is, but they don't know. At this time, a message arrives at the central room of the Ebon Hawk, and Zack goes there to check it out. As he gets there, he hears a man's voice, and notices that it's an old man's, but to no one that he knows. Zack asks who this is, and the man calls himself God Almighty, and the others are stunned by this and are fazed with disbelief. Zack asks why he's calling him from the Ebon Hawk, as he didn't think that he would contact him with a machine. But God dismisses the issue, and tells Zack that he has Selia in his custody, and that she won't be coming back again anymore, much to Zack disturbance. Zack asks him in anger on why he did this, but God doesn't answer. He does, however, tell Zack to give up, as he won't find her, even if he travels throughout the universe to find a way in 24 hours. Zack is strucked silent, but maintains his composure and tells God that he'll regret this with several threatening sentences, and God says good luck to him and cancels the message. Zack then punches the hologram table, and says that he now has some work to take care of, and heads to his room. Revan asks him on what he intends to do, and Zack says that he's going to save Selia, and what else. The others hear this, but only Carth and Bastila are shocked to hear this. The Created Siblings now go with Zack to prepare for the rescue of Selia.

Meanwhile, while Zack and his Created Siblings get ready to save Selia, God and his followers are then shown within Heaven. Michael hears all the details from the kidnapping of Selia, and he takes this with great shock and disgust. He questions God on why would he kidnap an innocent girl, and God replies that it is to prevent her and Zack from breeding more threats in the future. Michael protests that that doesn't mean that he would take her away from the man she loves. Jesus interrupts and says that Selia went with God willingly, and that he's wasting his breath trying to see otherwise. Michael says that taking Selia away will only cause Zack to come after them, and unleash a devastating force that none of them in Heaven can stop. Berial tells him to watch his tongue, as that is considered an insult to them all. Mary asks God if they should just discontinue this discussion, but before God says anything, Jesus interrupts and speaks to Michael about the matter. He tells Michael that Zack is an insignificant speck of dirt that can easily be crushed by the combine might of his father and the realm of Heaven. Michael tells him that it's not a matter of numbers but a matter of will. The Archangel Squadron tells Michael that their skills and strength will eliminate Zack for good, and even the heavenly guardians can get the job done quickly. Michael still disagrees with this method of theirs and asks on what will become of Selia. Seeing that no one will answer, Jesus tells him that she is scheduled to be executed within 24 hours, and Michael is stunned with horror and shock. He asks God if that is true, and God nods yes. Michael is greatly fazed by this, and asks where Selia is. Berial says that she is in a cell that is several lands from here, and Michael thinks to himself in silence. Jesus tells him that Selia's fate has been decided, and that there's no one that can stop it. He continues to say that it is for absolution and order, and after exterminating Zack and Selia, they shall go after his friends and family. Michael gets sickened from hearing Jesus saying this, but as Jesus also mentions about the A.M.G.s and the Created Siblings, Michael gets affected from this with a flashback of Lily, and out of great surprise, punches Jesus in the face and jaw. Everyone sees this with surprise and shock, but Berial and God are unfazed. Jesus is thrown to the ground from the punch by Michael, and Michael has no idea what came over him. Jesus puts his hand to his mouth and sees that he bled a little from the punch. Taking this as an offense, Jesus wonders if Michael wants to start a fight. However, God interrupts them and says that he has made an idea. Everyone looks to him for a response, but Michael is still a little stunned by his assault on Jesus. God declares that everyone is to prepare for the execution, and for Michael to be given the duty to watch over Selia until the time has come. Jesus is stunned by his father's response, and Michael is surprised yet confused by this. God tells him that Selia is his responsibility until all is set for the execution date. Jesus tries to protest against having Michael watch over Selia, but Michael interrupts him by saying that he will do so. God strokes his beard and grins with pleasement from Michael's agreement to the job. Berial looks to Michael with an impassive yet curious look, and Jesus looks at Michael with disagreement for this duty. Michael makes his leave to go and watch Selia, but as he goes along, he communicates with Mammon within Hell to have Zack or someone to save Selia, and that he will come up with a plan to get Selia out of here until help arrives.

As Zack got everything ready and loaded, he and the Created Siblings say that it's time to go. As they walk to save Selia from her kidnappers, Zack sees Edward in the Ebon Hawk. Zack asks him on what he's doing here, and Edward says that he heared what happened from Revan and Kayle and wants to join Zack to save Selia. Zack is stunned by this, and wonders why he wants to go as well, when his family needs him for the repairs that happened from the Great Droid War incident. Edward says that it's because he wants to help out a friend, and that he wants to save Selia as much as everyone. Michael tells Zack to decide, as they only have 24 hours to save Selia from God and the others. After much thinking, Zack agrees to let Edward accompany him, and Edward is thankful for that. Edward also reveals to Zack that he got a message from Zack's comlink that a man named Mammon wants to help out, but can only do that from his comlink, so he told Edward to give the comlink back so that he can assist him too. Zack thanks him and Edward gives him back his comlink. Zack also mentions that Edward can say bye to Alexandra, as he clearly likes her, but Edward embarressingly says that isn't necessary, and Zack laughs. However, as they are about to venture out, Carth and Bastila are shown in Zack's and the others way.

Zack tells Carth that they'll just have to win then, while he and the rest go to save Selia.

Revan and Kayle asks them to let them ride the ship, but Carth says that he's not going to let them. Zack asks why and Bastile says that God is an all powerful being of justic and peace, and that they shouldn't involve themselves in his business. Edward speaks out to them that God just kidnapped Selia, and probably wants to get rid of her. Carth says that, if God demands it, then so be it. The rest hear this with slight anger and disgust, and Dustil begins to think that he should grab his dad and punch him for saying a cold thing like that. Zack, however, yells to Carth and grabs him by the collar before Dustil could and tells him that Selia's not going to die while he's still around to save her and protect her. Carth says that he has no chance of winning, and will only die on the spot for defying him. Zack throws him to the ground, and Bastila begins to pull out her lightsaber, but Revan stops her. Zack tells Carth that he doesn't know if he'll fail or succeed without seeing it for himself. Carth says that big talk will only make things worse for himself, and that this is a no-win scenario for him in a battle of the realms. Zack says that he doesn't believe in no-win scenarios, and that he's going to save Selia no matter what. Carth gets up to his feet and tells Zack that he won't win, no matter how strong he may have become. Zack says that doesn't matter. Carth then asks on what will happen when he has to face the armies that will be waiting for him, and that the Sith and the Jedi might stop him for defying God, so what will he do then. The others, the Created Siblings, and Edward look to Zack for an answer, and Zack turns around and says, "I guess we'll just have to win then!!", while having a look of strong determination in his eyes like fire. Carth and Bastila are stunned, and the others are speechless but proud. Bastila says that Zack is a fool, and Zack says that it's better to be a fool than a coward like her and Carth Onasi. Carth is outraged by this, but before he could do anything, Zack knocks him out cold, and Edward does the same with Bastila as well. Zack asks on what to do with them, and Revan says that Bastila should remain behind, and looks after their son, and Dustil says that his dad should remain behind as well, as he and Bastila will try to stop them over and over. Zack agrees, and Revan and Dustil take Carth and Bastila out of the Ebon Hawk. Edward asks Zack if this is okay, and Zack says it is, so that they won't get involved and killed for this quest.

Zack finally meets the son of the one who kidnapped Selia, Jesus Almighty, and with his companion named Berial. Zack is on his guard and prepares to fight them. Jesus says that he didn't think nor expected Zack to be able to do so much damage in minutes, but cares less right now on the details. Before he can continue, however, Berial interrupts and asks on which one is it. Edward looks with worry and fright and Berial says on which one of them is the strongest and who's going to take him on. Realizing this immediately, Edward now screams to Zack to run, but as he does, he is punctured by Berial is the stomach. Berial tosses him back, and Edward is rendered unconscious. Zack screams out to him and dashes in high speeds. Berial then looks to Zack with a sadistically insane look and grin, and prepares to fight him. But before they could, Jesus interferes and states to Berial that he can handle him. Berial objects to this, but Jesus tells him to stand back for this fight. After much thought, Berial complies and sits on a boulder to wait for his turn to fight Zack, but tells Jesus not to take too long.

Seeing that Jesus just ran away from the fight, Zack then focuses his attention to Berial intead. Berial chuckles from Zack's determination, while not knowing that he is about to fight a being of Heaven and Hell. But Zack dismisses the subject, and asks Berial on why Selia was kidnapped, or he'll fight him to get the answer out of him. After much ponder of confusement, Berial asks why Zack would go this far to save a mere girl, when there are bigger things to worry about, like his people. Zack tells Berial it is because Selia is very special to him, and would risk his life to save no matter what. Berial then smirks from this, and tells Zack that if he is really willing to save her, despite knowing what he is up against, then he'll be happy to fight here and now. Zack prepares to fight, and Berial does the same.

Zack unleashes his Instincts Getsuga on Berial.

Berial seems to be disappointed to know that Zack should be stronger than this, and asks him from the crator if that's all he's got. Receiving no answer, Berial begins to think that Zack is far weaker than he thought, and is about to just turn around to leave. However, at that moment, Berial senses a massive Power Level rising, and turns to Zack's location. Zack is then seen in his Instincts form, and vastly energizes his Getsuga attack. Berial looks on in fright and wonders on what Zack intends to do. Zack is finally done charging and declares his Instincts Getsuga on Berial. As it destroys and burns everything in its path, Berial is surprised with terror and prepares to defend himself from it. As it makes impact on Berial, it causes a massively powerful dome of explosive power, which clears the skies of clouds, and leaving Berial greatly burned and scarred. Seeing the magnitude of that attack, Berial makes an insanely grin from it, and comments that he didn't know that Zack had such a deadly weapon up his arsenal. Zack is exhausted from the fully powered Instincts Getsuga, and tries to catch his breath. Berial then says that Zack is more than worthy to die by his hand, and is about to fight him to the death by trying to show him one of his forms. However, as Berial is about to, Jesus stops him, and tells him that their next objective is to go back to Kortexx to formulate further plans. Berial is displeased by this, but follows the command. But before they leave, Zack asks them on what they meant by their plans. Jesus doesn't answer, but Berial does instead, and turns to Zack. Berial tells Zack that their plans are to gather their armies to prepare for "The Final War", and to prepare the execution of Selia. Zack is disturbed and shocked of heariung this and asks why they would execute Selia. Jesus finally turns around and answers. He says that it is because Selia happens to be a girl that Zack loves so deeply, and that if they are together, they would produce more Sith'arian children and the Sith'arian race will try to grow more powerful than they think, and that God Almighty, Jesus's father, would not allow that. When Zack asks why again, Berial says that God and the rest of the realms believe that the Sith'arians are a race of abominations that deserve to be eradicated, including those that are tied to them, even loved ones. Zack is angry about their plans and of their plot to kill Selia. Seeing his angry expression, Berial wonders if Zack is really willing to risk his life to save Selia. Zack immediately says that he will, and will do whatever it take to save her. Berial laughs and is happy to hear that, but he tells Zack that he, Jesus, and God aren't the only problem for him to worry about. Fot there are others that Zack'll have to fight as well. The ones being the Death Brothers, and Marka Ragnos. Zack is stunned by this, and asks why Marka is working with them. But Berial just says to Zack to ask Marka himself, for even he has no idea why he and the rest joined. Jesus then interrupts, and reminds Berial that they have to leave now, and to not say too much, and Berial agrees. Jesus finally departs to Heaven in a Corridor of Light, and Berial tells Zack before leaving that he hopes to see him again, and he disappears with Jesus.

As Berial and Jesus are now gone, Zack reverts back to normal and rushes to Edward to heal him.

Meanwhile, as Zack and his friends get prepared for Kortexx, other events occur from the designated planet.

The Ebon Hawk is then seen flying to the destination to where Zack and the others are heading, and Zack is seen with a look of unflinching determination, and the scene then switches to where Zack is seemingly resting his eyes near the entrance of the Ebon Hawk. He picks up a reading in his suit and he states that it has arrived. A massive sphere comes out from space, and Edward clarifies that it has been sent from Sith'aria. The massive sphere that is heavily made from Sith'anite and Sith'anite Materia then makes contact near the Ebon Hawk, and Zack heads to enter the dome. As he enters, he is then within a small room with his eyes closed and arms crossed, and all the systems turn online. Zack opens his eyes and enters the activation on all sides. The large portions of the dome then detach from each other, and it is revealed to be the upgraded Siegfried within the core. The detached sphere parts reveal to be the other advanced weapons and systems for the Siegfried, and they reattach, activating all its weapon functions and hidden core units. Zack's body then resonates with the mobile suit, and the mobile suit then shines with the combine strength and power of Zack's will. Zack then activates the main system, and the Siegfried is then operational, and its eyes then glow from the power of Zack's will. Its wings all over its body then separate from itself, and it is shown to be a mobile suit of luminating form, and its core in its chest shines a blue light. The Siegfried then flaps its multiple pair of wings, and its speed then goes in unimaginable levels, with the A.M.G.s and the Ebon Hawk following in its direction to Kortexx. Zack activates the Siegfried's advanced hyperdrive core, and everyone followsuits within the hyperspace route.

While Zack heads for Kortexx, Kain is seen with his father on the Executioner and everyone has arrived for a meeting of sorts.

Out of nowhere, Cosmo Blue and Cosmo Purple then report of an unidentified target coming out from several hundred parsecs away, and its coming in fast. Kain, Akuhiei, Kallen, Adas, and Marka wonder what this is, but the Cosmo Sisters cannot determine what it is. They continue to say that a vast and large scale of time/space distortion is accelerating rapidly, and is immeasurable. And finally, they say that its going to cause a massive shockwave within several seconds. Kain wonders if it's the Sith'arians, but Marka states that the Cosmo Sisters said that it's only one target, and questions on what or who this is. Out of surprise, all systems give a dangerous red alarm systems, and everyone worries what is about to come out of hyperspace. The Cosmo Sisters then shout out that its coming, and a massive wave of light booms all around the Sith armada, causing space rumbles everywhere. Gabriel, who is witnessing the time/space rupture, merely raises his head in delight that Zack is coming, while also calling him the destined Ultimatum. When the light fades dimly, multiple corssroads of shining proportions concentrate at the center from afar, and when it finishes, it gives a single ray of light, then a vast shockwave. The shockwave blasts away the Sith armies, and everyone tries to keep it together. Kain and Akuhei try to see through the light, and when it clears, the Siegfried had arrvied far ahead of the others. Stunned and shocked to see that Zack had arrived, Kallen ordered everyone to open fire, and all the armies complied.

As Zack manages to reach the stairs to the castle of Kortexx, he and the siblings wonder if there is a way to get there faster. But at that moment, Zack senses a familiar presence. He keeps his guard up and tells the others that there's someone on the stairs. As the fog clears, it shows none other than Jesus Almighty; the man who helped in the kidnapping of Selia. Zack is surprised to see him here of all places, and Jesus is surprised to know that Zack remembers him, thinking he was just a stupid little kid. But is satisfied by his memory and says it's good, and Zack says thanks.

As Zack dispatches the demons of hell, he is no only a quarter from entering Heaven's Gate by now. But he soon runs into the Devil himself, Satan, as he tries to stop Zack from continuing along the way. Satan is amused to see that Zack was able to get passed the 24 Judges from the realms, and on how he rid of his army in a swift. Zack tells him that he has no time to waste, and Satan agrees to that. They then commence for battle, as the surroundings now transform into a hellish stadium.
With their battle still running, Satan is very weak from this, but Zack is hardly out of energy. The Devil tries to turn Zack to his control, but is suddenly shocked and stun on sensing a vastly powerful and darker presense in the core of Zack's mind. He then sees an enlarged Dark Zack and he grabs the Devil with his left hand and begins to crush. Unable to continue to try and control Zack, the Devil then releases his grip on Zack and appears to be even weaker than before. Satan questions on how Zack can have such a dark and powerful presense in his mind. Zack just tells him that a hero's darkside is always more powerful and darker than a villain's. Enraged, the Devil now resorts to going all out in his "Old Dragon" form, and declares that Zack is to die here in hell and Zack goes into his Instincts Mode to even the odds.

Zack finally defeated the Devil and now goes to the Gate of Heaven. Unfortunetly, as he got there, everything started to glow bright. The next, everywhere looked like flowers and bright skies with exotic mountains. As he sees the distance, he sees a giant statue in the way to the Gate. But after a moment, the statue's orbs begin to glow bright and the giant stand up, while simultaneously rotting all the flowers from miles away, and with the mountains crumbing away, causing eruptions and earthquakes worldwide. Zack barely stand from the destruction and the statue makes a giant footstep, looking from very high up like a dark god in destruction and glory. Zack draws out his sword and enters Dark Mode with wings.

With the giant killed, Zack stands for a moment but notices that the surroundings are rumbling insanely. He hears the monsters voice and it says it's time for Zack's "insignifigent life to end", and it rises as a colossal mass of demon bones, with a horned demon skull on the top. It opens it's mouth, as a sign of battle and Zack makes a loud battle cry to finish the fight.

With everything in hell finished, Zack finally enters the Gate of Heaven and goes through. As the billions upon billions of angels bask in glory for the execution, God asks if Selia has any wishes. Selia asks him to spare Zack the others, including the Sith'arians from danger. God agrees and puts the scaffold to activation. Michael the Archangel, hearing what happened, knows all too well that God has no intention of making a promise to Selia about THAT, yet lied to her that he would. Michael can't help but somehow help in this situation, but is outmatched and outnumbered right now, so he can only hope for someone to come and save the day.

Zack stops the Phoenix from executing Selia.

As the Phoenix Prepares to perform the Execution Strike, Selia takes a moment to look back on all her memories of her friends and when she spended time with Zack in their journies. She then closes her eyes and says good-bye while the Phoenix goes for the execution. However, there is a sudden burst and explosion of wind and energy. Everyone suddenly gets surprised and try to guard against the explosion of mass power. As it clears up, everyone looks in immediate surprise and shocked. Selia is confused to still feel alive, and she hears a familiar voice "Sorry I'm late. I had to take care of some jackels before getting here. Good thing I came in the nick of time." Selia looks up and sees Zack stopping the Phoenix from it's attack with his left hand.

Everyone looks in shock to know that Zack has came to save Selia from her death, and on how he stops and stuns the Phoenix with his palm while looking at it fearlessly, and telling it to get lost. Zack then flicks his finger to it's enormous beak, which causes a big shockwave and sends it flying and crashing into the mountains 10,000 miles away. Everybody looks speechless, but Michael comments that Zack managed to pass the realms and entered Heaven's Gate by surviving Hell's realm. He gives a heart-filled smile and puts his head down while pulling a tred of his hair and says "So in the end, the young boy saves the day." Zack turns his attention to Selia and breaks the chains effortlessly. Selia is speechless to see Zack come all this way. Zack tells not to worry, for he promised her that he'll always be there to protect her no matter what. He picks up and holds her hand while pulling out the Goodluck Charm she gave him. He tells her that swear it on the Charm she gave him, and places it back in her hand. With that done, Zack then asks her to smile so that it can cheer her up. After a moment, unfortunetely, the Phoenix rises from the mountains and howls from afar. Zack is displeased of this and asks the Phoenix if it's persistant. However, the Phoenix suddenly gives a furocius roar that sends shockwaves to their location and unexpectedly explodes. As the clouds clear up, the Phoenix transforms into it's true form, and declares a death match to Zack. Zack is thrilled to see how the Phoenix continues to get in his way, despite the fact it was thrown 10,000 miles away by his finger, and dashes to the bird.

As the battle continues, Zack remain unscathed while the Phoenix gets tired and weak. Zack asks the birdy if it has any mind of it's own, but it continues to go out of control as it attacks Zack repeatebly. But Zack continues to evade all attacks and it gets even weaker than before. Zack, looking bored, decides to put an end to this fight and asks the Phoenix to replenish it's strength. The Phoenix obliges and it instantly got renergized and now goes all out on Zack. But by surprise, Zack appears from behind and gives it a punch to the face, breaking it's teeth and sending it away swiftly. Zack then goes and gives it an instantaneous amount of combos, and finishing it by sending it to the ground, causing a massive explosion.
Seeing how futile it is to defeat Zack, the Phoenix begs Zack to spare it. Zack tells it that he'll let him live, as long as it doesn't harm anyone he cares about, anymore. The Phoenix promises, and Zack turns around and starts walking. But the Phoenix lied and it completely heals it's body and power and strikes Zack with the Execution Strike, but was once agan halted by Zack with no effort. As the Phoenix is completely immobilized and unable to move and talk, Zack says that he knew that it would do another desparate attack like that and now tells the Phoenix that he has no intention of letting it live anymore. He decides to finishes it off with a Dark Cerunga, shattering it to nothing.

With Zack finally destroying the Phoenix, he levitates down to where Jesus is standing and gives a dark and cold look in Dark Mode. Michael looks in shock, but keeps his guard in case Zack intends to kill everyone in Heaven (Though he knows he'll only kill those responsible for kidnapping Selia and trying to execute her). Jesus keeps his distance from Zack, but Zack walks closer to him and question on Jesus if he still intends to kill him, seeing on how he failed to kill him on Kortexx. Or rather, if he's afraid that he'll end up being dead than he was nearly from last time. Jesus then says that it's time to correct his mistake and pulls out his Heavenly Sword to ready to fight Zack.

Jesus then attacks Zack with speed and reflex, but Zack blocks the attack with his elbow and not saying anything. Jesus is shock to see Zack blocking his sword with only an elbow, and not even getting a cut. Zack tells him to try harder than that, 'cause it's not good enough and he pushes Jesus with a light push of his left hand, sending him fifty feet away with a shockwave. Jesus is frustrated to know that Zack was easily capable of pushing him with no effort and misunderstandably thinks that Zack is getting overconfidant of his newly acquired increase of strength. Jesus continues to cut and slash Zack with numerous combos, but to no avail, as Zack is blocking them every time. Zack tells him that he's gotten even weaker than when they fought not so long ago on Kortexx, or if he himself is just getting stronger than before. Not wanting to waste anymore time, Jesus attempts to behead Zack by a horizontal swing, but is instantly stopped by Zack's left hand.

Zack grabs Jesus' sword before it reached him.

As Jesus tries to pull his sword out of Zack's grip, Zack looks directly into his eyes and tells him that he will not win, not because he's more powerful than Jesus, but because Zack has no intention of losing to people like them. Zack's grip gets harder as he begins to crack Jesus' sword with no effort, and tells him to give up. Insulted of thinking that Zack is now superior to himself, Jesus yells at him to not get arrogant, for he will not let a cocky, shameless, stubborn brat like Zack get the best of him. Zack, however, corrects him that he's not being what Jesus described him of being, but merely states that he is not going to lose and will save Selia, no matter what. Jesus tries to finish Zack by utilizing all his strength in one blow and instantly appears behind him to pierce and decapacitate him. Unfortunetly for Jesus, as the explosion clears, Zack is revealed to have survived and is hardly even scratched. Jesus is shocked to know that his attack failed, while Zack turns his head and coldly tells Jesus that a coward's tactic like that will never works. Zack then immediately uses his Tsukuyomi technique to trap Jesus in a separate reality, and instantly defeats Jesus with one dark blow that gives an X-shaped slash on the chest, while Jesus questions on how could he lose to a kid like him, and Zack just looks expressionless while not lookng back.

Horrified of seeing Zack triumph over Jesus, Mary goes to attack him at high speeds, but is quickly strucked down by Zack's Right Arm of Punishment, but not before being immensely burned by his Black Flame Flame of Misfortune. Zack gives a silent sigh to this, while Michael is surprised to see on how Zack bested both Jesus and Mary with no effort. He even begins to think that God has really underestimated him this time.

Seeing how Zack has grown more powerful than they expected, Heaven's Armies prepare to go all out on Zack and not give him a chance to strike back and defeat him. While they rush to Zack to strike, Foxxko is seen sitting on a pillar and questions on the heaven's chance at "Defeating him.", "Defeat HIM?", and answers: Impossible. Because they all underestimate Zack Xargus' power. As this happens, Foxxko says that if they fight at full strength, it won't matter, while Zack strikes down an angel in heavy armor, sending him falling. Foxxko then says that even if they fight as one army, it won't do, and Zack cuts down five angels with one swing. Foxxko finally says that no matter how hard they try, no matter how hard they think, no matter how much they trained; Zack's powers and abilities will always be infinite universes beyond their reach, and Zack takes down twenty angels and looks down at them expressionlessly. Not wanting to wait any longer the Archangels go to kill Zack for good, but Michael hesitates to fight, though he has no intention of fighting a boy who only wants to save his lover from death, even if it means fighting his opponents to a beatdown. Zack decides that if they continue to get in the way, he'll have to wipe them away with everything he has. As the Archangels are defeated, Michael looks on in surprise and comments again on Zack for being true to his heart. And at that moment, the 144,000 angels are released by the God and the Four Guardians to finish Zack. But by a mere 0.01 second, Zack swiftly takes out all the angels with no effort with his Dark Energized Sword.

Zack now fights God Almighty!

Seeing no other way to defeat Zack the Guardians then resort to chasing down the created siblings who are trying to get Selia away from there, but are stopped by Zack's instantaneous speed. The Guardians are surprised and Zack puts the Sword of Destiny on the ground, while simultaneously releasing a vast pressure of his Power Level out of the sword. The Guardians yell out to Zack to move out of the way. But Zack tells them he can't do that. The Guardians weapons begin to glow and they ask him again to get out of the way, but Zack once again says "I can't do that." The Guardians now unleash their power, but by an instant, the Guardian is strucked by Zack's left arm, defeated. The Hunter sees this, adn tries to kill Zack quickly, but is slashed by Zack's left arm. The Judgment Warrior tries to swing his sword to Zack, but the hero grabs it in an instant, and slices the Warrior with his right arm. Divinity Sage is shocked by this, and asks herself in her head on how Zack could be this powerful. Zack's hand is then shown on her face suddenly, and massive statics of dark energies are unleashed from the hand, and the Divinity Sage falls from the instant death blow. With all that being taken care of, God tries to kill Zack with instantaneous speed, but Zack blocks it with his sword, causing a massive burst of shockwaves throughout Heaven (and the planet Kortexx). Surprised to see that his attack was stopped, God hears Zack saying "We meet at last, God Almighty!", with Zack reverting back to his normal appearance.

Zack then pushes God further away with his sword, causing God to go on the offensive. God nows says that since Zack was able to get here, he will fight him to the death, and that after the fight, he'll go after Selia and kill her with his own hand. Zack looks to God with displeasement and tells God that he won't let that happen, which is why he is here to stop him, here and now. God looks on expressionlessy to Zack and dashes to him, and Zack does the same.

At the time that Zack and God fight, Mammon is seen going to Michael to get out of there. But as Michael goes running to Mammon, Mammon is suddenly attacked by a severely burned Mary Almighty. Michael tries to help him, but was suddenly impaled greatly by a greatly injuried Jesus. Mary looks to Mammon and is disgusted that a being from hell is in her realm, and she keeps kicking him. Michael tries to reach for Mammon, but was stomped by Jesus. Jesus expresses his disappointment with Michael, knowing that he not only tried to dissuade God from killing Selia, but that he is with Mammon who helped Zack reach Heaven. He continues to stomp on Michael painfully and says that it's time to cleanse Heaven of his filth. But at that instant, Jesus is caught by a person in black, along with a man in white behind him. Mary looks to where Jesus was caught, a woman catches her off guard and sends her falling from the execution ground. Michael is confused of who those were, but now goes to helping Mammon of his condition. As the fight with Zack and God still commences, Zack says "It's about time.", and he is glad that those guys have came to help out.

Zack's battle with God Almighty still instensifies, and with one clash of their swords, they distance themselves from each other on rocky spires. God sees that Zack's skill in combat and speed has far exceeded his expectations, and seems to be slightly amused. But despite this, he dismisses the issue and wonders if Zack is a condifent one. Zack places his sword to his shoulders and clarifies that God is talking down to him as if he's not a threat, but knows all too well that it's all an act. Zack looks to him and smirks, while saying that he hasn't even scratched him yet, and if he's fighting him seriously. They look to each other with cool composure, and after a moment, Zack asks him to show him his full power. God is confused, but just looks to Zack with a serious glare. Zack asks him to show him his full might, and so that he can rap this up in no time. Zack dismisses his request and tells Zack that he does not need to show his full might to eliminate him. He places his sword to his front, and continues to say that he won't even for took an eternity for him to live. He unleashes a wave of heavenly swords at Zack, and thousands of them go to him in silent motion. However, Zack remain cool, and after a short silence, a massive burst of energy is unleashed on God's direction, and he sees this with shock, while Zack is shown with a face of furosity.

Zack welcomes Daira into his group.

With Zack now back in control, he says that he will now go all out on God and end this for good. Zack now goes full power with his Resolve, Instincts, Colossus, and Celestial power combined. God unleashes his ultimate attack, 100,000,000 Swords of Heavenly Ragnarok, to kill Zack once and for all. But Zack broke through his assualt and finally slashes him on the chest with his Getsuga attack. Effectively incapacitating him. However, God didn't want to die to the likes of Zack and wondered why Zack didn't go for the kill. Zack says that something in his heart and the Sword of Destiny said that this was not the way
to end him. After the details, God tries one more time to end Zack and materializes a sword to do it. However, As God tries to kill Zack from behind, despite the damage that was inflicted on him, Michael stabs him on the back through the heart area, before Zack could turn to kill God. God is shocked by this and questions Michael in anger of what is he doing. But Michael says goodbye to God and pulls out his sword before God explodes into the wind, but not before Zack finishes it with his Dark Getsuga. With God defeated, Zack asks why Michael helped him, knowing that he was part of Heaven's side. Michael says that it was because he tried to persuade God not to kill Selia and that he somehow felt that what Heaven was doing was wrong. He wanted to help, but was not a match for them on his own. He was hoping that someone who Mammon could find would come to save the day. And it happened. Zack remembers that Mammon did call Zack from a message, but didn't know that Mammon was being help by him [Michael]. Michael continues to say that he did tried to get Selia out of there on his own though, but had some trouble with Berial in the way, but also said that Berial's true name is Matthew. He sealed Berial away in a sealing cube, but it'll reach its limit at anytime now. Michael even says that, while he was getting Selia out somehow, he was caught and restraint from interfering again, and to watch the execution freely if no more rebellion is allowed, but he still hoped someone can save Selia. Zack now thanks him for all his help and even wants to invites him into the group and calls him by name. Though Michael prefers to be called Daira, for it's his favorite name to receive. And Zack agrees.

As Selia now cries out in despair and sorrow for Zack's help, Zack sees her in his subconscious crying for him, and knows that she's calling for him. He says in his head "She's...She's calling me She's...She's crying...for...me. Get up! Get up!! Get up!!!. I...I need to save her! I...I have to defend her!!. I...I...I.....I WANT TO PROTECT HER!!!!!". And at that instant, a dark collection of chains within Zack's heart are then suddenly shattered, and a face of malevolant essence arises, and everyone within Kortexx and beyond then instantly felt a very powerful and vast Power Level nearby. A massive shroud of darkness rises behind Selia, and as she feels it, she then slowly turns her head to it, and Zack's body rises to it's feet and is now in a whole new, more terrifying form than ever before.

Shocked to see that Zack has somehow revived, but in a monstrously terrifying form, everyone begins to be speechless from seeing this. Marka question the silent beast of who or what he is. But at that instant, Zack pulls out his hand and call out his Sword of Destiny telekinetically. With his sword back in hand, Zack pulls it up, as though to prepare an attack. Selia looks in fear and concern to Zack, and Zack's seemingly dead eyes fixate on her silently. He then waves his sword to the ground, and as it does, a massive area on his right begins to explodes. Everyone begins to get uneasy, and Selia is pushed back by this, until Daira cathes her and teleports from the area. Marka looks to Zack again and questions himstill on who or what he is. But as Zack's jagged, bloody mouth grinds, he then suddenly roars incredibley loud like an angry beast. Causing enormous waves of energy from his location, and a massively devastating Power Level Pressure then puts everyone to cower in fear and start to fall on their knees in pain. Kain, Akuhiei, Berial and Marka try to stand from the power, but are still under its horrifying pressure. Marka then states that this much power that Zack is causing is possibly enough to not only destroy them, but can also destroy all of existance itself. As Zack continues to roar, he then instantly disappears from eveyone's sight. Marka then wonders where he went, but as he does, everyone from behind are then screaming. As he and Berial, as well as Kain and Akuhiei turn to their backs, they witness Zack slaughtering their armies instantly. Zack then goes into instantaneous speed and slaughtering every single army of Marka's. Zack is then seen in a battle stance with all the blood on him from the armies, and everyone looks on in terror. Zack now instantly teleports into the sky behind them, and everyone turns their attention to the location where he went. Marka, Berial, and the Death Brothers then wonder on what he intends to do next, seeing that he has gained a monstrous form with frighteningly overwhelming power.

Zack annihilates Marka's armies

But at that moment, Zack raises his right hand, and the torrents of blood from the armies that Zack just slained suddenly rise into the skies and disappear. However, as everyone is confused, massive rips within the atmosphere appear, and countless hordes of dark creatures crawl out of it. They then swiftly go to Zack, and await commands. Zack then slowly lowers his hand, and points it to Marka, Berial, the Death Brothers, and the rest of their minions, and the creatures then lunge at them at swift speeds. They try to fend off the creatures, but Marka and the rest are about to be devoured by them. With little choice, Marka, Berial, and the Death Brothers then fire their cerunga attacks towards Zack to distract him. Zack simply dodges them, but are actually headed for Selia. The attacks combine to create a stronger cerunga, and go in high speeds to kill Selia. Zack slowly turns his head to where Selia is, and as it is about to hit her, Zack instantly appears in front of her, and stops it with his right hand. He then crushes it effortlessly and growls at Marka and the rest. Selia and Neon are shocked and try to wonder what's going on with Zack. Zack then slowly raises his head and slowly opens his mouth wide-open. Everyone is speechless of what he's about to do, but at that moment, all of the dark and malevolant energies then vastly transfer into Zack's mouth, and he is about to unleash a powerful attack on them. All the energies then shape into an enormous sphere of destructive power, and it goes into Zack's mouth. As Zack still looks up with his mouth wide open, the inside of his mouth glows, and knowing what might possibly happen, Selia and Zack's friends begin to fear the attack that Zack will unleash, and as they do, Zack unleashes a vastly large ocean stream of malevolant waves and darkness that goes to Marka and the rest's location. They guard against it, but it simply passes them by, much to their confusion. But by looking closer, they were actually headed for Marka's armies in the skies and space, and as it swirls into the armies, massive burts of explosion of flames engulf the armies, and the skies and space were burning from the magnitude of it's power, while Zack stands in a terrifyingly triumphet stance with his wings wide opened, and his eyes glaring with malevolance.

Berial is shocked to see that Zack was able to annihilate Marka's lackeys with no effort to it, and is slightly scared to fight him now. Zack then turns his head to Berial, and instantly appears behind him. Berial is startled by his instantaneous speed, and Zack swings his sword horizontally to Berial, but he dodges it, and the swing causes a massive impact of shockwaves within the surrounding area and ground. Berial tells him not to underestimate him, and he begins to charge his Despair Flames to attack Zack with full force. However, Zack turns to him and charges a Cerunga from his horns, much to Berial surprise. Berial charges his attack to full power quickly, and as it is done, both his Despair Flames and Zack's Cerunga collide, and Zack's Cerunga gets the better of it all. Berial then teleports away from the blast, and the Cerunga causes an enormous amount of destruction on the location. Berial is shocked to know that Zack could fire a Cerunga that can beat his Despair Flames, and denies that a hybrid's Cerunga can outmatch his attacks. By that moment, Zack fires another Cerunga to Berial, and Berial tries to blow it away with his Despair Flames again, but they are neutralized by Zack's Cerunga again. Zack then instantly appears behind Berial, and as Berial is too late to defend himself from behind, Zack then places his hand on Berial's left arm, and suddenly rips it off with no effort, and blood gushes out greatly. Berial realizes this, and screams out in massive pain from his arm dismemberment. Selia and Neon look on with horror, and Selia questions in fright if that is really Zack, as Zack is floating in the air with Berial's severed arm, and looks to be in a swirling vortex of blood and chaos.

Zack kills Berial

With his current condition, Berial then resorts to extending his bones from inside his body to kill and absorbs his underlings. As he does, his arm is then regenerated back to the way it was, with Zack hinging his head to his left with ponderment. Berial tells him that strength and power isn't his only capabilities, but also the power to regenerate any lost limbs and organs. But has to kill and absorbs his followers to do this. He then tells Zack that if he still stands there without making a plan, he'll never beat him. He then generates a large blazing sword that resembles his Despair Sword, but larger and more deadly. He calls it his strongest move: Despair Sword of Devastation. He then tells Zack to stand there, for he doesn't want to throw it at him when he's up close. He then throws the sword and it heads for Zack in high speed. However, before it reaches, Zack moves his head to the left when it was only half an inch from him. And as it reaches for the mountains from 10,000 miles away, it causes a massive explosion that causes shockwaves to Zack's and everyone's location. Berial is confused as to why it missed him, and says that he give it one more try. He generates another sword, and Daira and Neon are surprised that he can make another one with only one hand in place. But by this time, Zack instantly teleports behind Berial, much to Berial's surprise. Berial then turns to him and says that he was able to get there without leaving a single presence. Berial then thinks that that speed Zack used wasn't Shining Flash Step, but was Blinding Darkness Step. Zack then throws the arm that he ripped from Berial to him, but Berial just slices it with his Despair Sword. He then thinks that throwing his severed arm would make him hesitate and tells Zack to not underestimate him. But before he could hit him with his sword, Zack grabs it immediately, with no sign of damage from it. Berial is shocked by this, seeing that he could grab it bare-handed. Zack's hand then twists it and his claws are extended to finally destroy it with no effort. Causing a massive eruption within the area. As the smoke clears up, Zack's monstrous face is seen snarling and giving a terrifyingly cold look, with Berial looking motionlessly. And in an instant, Berial is slashed in half from shoulder to torso, causing massive loads of blood out of his body. Berial falls to the ground, and Zack still remains still from his attack. Neon then looks on and shocked of what he's seeing. Berial is still shown alive from the attack and says that it's ridiculous for him to lose to "this hybrid mongrel". At this time, Zack then has flashbacks of Berial about to kill Selia with his sword, and Zack angrily stomps on Berial head greatly, and charges a Cerunga at him on point-blank. Neon sees this in surprise and disapproval, and Berial tells Zack in fear not to kill him. But Zack is done charging his Cerunga and Berial yells out to him in fear and anger to not kill him. Zack now fires his Cerunga on him, and a massive dome of explosion occurs on their location. Everyone witnesses it, and they try to guard against the massive magnitude from the explosion. As the explosion clears, Zack is seen with Berial's severed head, much to everyone's shock and horror. Zack then throws it and it begins to fades into energy, as Zack now absorbs it into his body and it glows violently.

Berial's armies then notice that they cannot move, and are binded by Zack's dark creatures. Zack is then shown with a hand seal stance, and as the armies cower in fear, Zack then pulls out his left hand while his eyes suddenly glow with malevolant fury. He then declares in his mind "Malevolant Hand Crush!!!", and the armies of Berial are then engulfed within a massive dome of darkness. Zack then turns around to where Marka and the rest can see, and at that second, the dome instantly explodes into a cataclysmic inferno that causes the skies to burn, and the armies of Berial to suffer a nightmarish death. The inferno still blazes on, and Marka, the rest, but mostly Selia, are terrified of this seismic power and horror, while Zack just raises his head with a malevolantly growling grin and his eyes blazing with malevolance.

Zack stands in the air still, and the others wonder on what he now intents to do. Zack instantly vanishes, and Kain and Akuhiei hear screams fom behind them. As they look, the PredAlien, Bryan, and Adas are swiftly strucked down by Zack's monstrous strength and speed. Kain lunges towards him, but his swords are stopped by Zack's bare-hands. Kain is suprised by this, and Zack throws away his swords and instantly kicks him in the chest. Kain's armor breaks off, and he gushes out blood from his mouth and Zack strikes him again that sends him crashing far away. Akuhiei attacks Zack for his brother, but Zack kicks his scythe away and slashes him on the chest with his extended purple claws that are fuelled by his dark energy. Loads of blood gush out from his chest, and Zack sends Akuhiei with a devastating kick to the stomach that breaks his armor and crashing to where Kain was thrown to. Zack remains silent and steady, but hears a single soldier wimpering and running away. Zack instantly appears in front of the soldier and swiftly slashes him with his sword. The soldier's body streams out all the blood from his body and drops dead to Zack's feet. Zack, now covered in all of his enemies blood, turns to Marka and prepares to finish him off.

Marka sees the overwhelming power of what Zack has leaked out, and is motionless of what to do about it. Zack walks towards Marka, and Marka tries to stay vigilant. However, Zack appears behind Marka, and a massive explosion occurs in their location. Neon keeps Selia safe from the waves caused by the explosion, and he wonders what's going on there. As the explosion clears, Marka is seen greatly injuried and is bleeding on his right arm and chest. Marka tries to stay on guard, but is starting to lose focus by blood loss. Zack finally cuts him down with his sword that is fuelled by his Getsuga, and Marka slowly falls on his back. Seeing that Zack has strucked Marka down with a fatal blow to the shoulder and chest, Neon is scared of seeing that Zack can be this strong and monstrous. Zack then coldly tosses Marka's body to the ground, and it causes a great amount of impact in doing so. As Zack walks toward Marka, Neon looks on in awe-confusement, and when Zack pulls out his sword and energizes it, Neon become shock, and Zack points it directly to Marka's neck. In only a few seconds, Zack completely fuels the sword with his power and swiftly strikes it down
However, as Zack is about to kill Marka with his sword to his neck, Neon instantly stops him by grabbing his wrist tightly, while looking fearless but still scared. Neon tells him to stop, for he has won. He continues to say that, while marka may be the enemy, Zack shouldn't have to go and kill him in cold blood. He pleads to Zack to stop, for it's over now. Unfortunetely, after a few silent seconds, Zack still attempts to kill Marka, but is struggling from Neon's grip on his wrist as he growls. Neon then tells him to stop it, and that if he continues to do this, then he won't be a person anymore, and prove that God and Vrook were right. Zack still struggles, and Neon continues to yell at him angerly while saying his name. At that moment, as Zack's mind dives even deeper, he can't help but hear the voices of his emotions, and at that last second, he then hears Selia crying voice again, saying "Help me, Zack!!!!!", and he goes into a shocking rage. He roars monstrously as his Power Level drastically explodes, and as he swiftly looks to Neon with blazing eyes of fury, a sudden flash of light occurs, and trails of blood appear. As the flash clears, Neon is seen with his eyes wide-open like he's in shock, and as it shows a few seconds later, he is impaled greatly by Zack's Sword of Destiny through the chest where his heart is at. Everyone looks in shock and horror of what Zack did, and Neon coughs blood and is shocked of what Zack did just now. Neon is taken aback by the force of the sword that was thrusted to his chest, and Selia looks on in fright.

As she reaches out in hand, Zack's stare looks to her face, and Selia notices as Zack is saying in a dark and growling voice "You...", and Selia gets scared by this, but Zack continues to say "Help....you. I...will...help..you.", and by hearing this, Selia instantly remembers that she cried out "Help me, Zack!!!!!" for Zack's help, and realizes that Zack is mindlessly driven by the powerful desire to protect her no matter what, at any cost, even if his friends and foes get in the way. Selia begins to asks in sorrow and regret on why she did that, and begins to blame herself for this. And as she still does, Zack points his attention to Neon and charges a Cerunga to kill him for getting in the way. Selia pleads to him in tears to stop, but Zack still charges his attack, despite Selia pleading. At that moment, Marka is shown with his sword and prepares to finish Zack off, and everyone sees this. Marka fuels his sword with his power, and lunges it to Zack's horns. However, before they hit, Zack swiftly grabs his arm, and causes Marka a get deal of surprise and shock. Zack slowly turns his head to Marka, and after looking at him, he instantly punches him in the stomach with full force, and Marka gushes massive amounts of blood from the mouth. Marka falls to the ground, and Zack is about to fire the Cerunga on him. But as he does, the Superiors try to stop him, but by that second, Zack's Cerunga shrinks and causes an enormous column of destructive force. The Superiors get Neon and Marka out of the spot, and the Cerunga Explosion causes a massive want of destructiuon of Zack's location.
The Superiors manage to get everyone to safety, and look to Zack's location to know what has happened to him. As the smoke clears, Zack is nowhere to be seen. However, at the last instant, Zack appears behind Dragono and disposes him with a slash to the back. Zack easily incapacitates the others, but leaves Edward and the Created Siblings conscious but unable to move from the ground. Seeing the bloodshed that is before her eyes, Selia is horrified of this and asks herself in sorrow and regret if this was her fault in this monstrous nightmare. As Zack is prepared to kill the others, Selia reacts to this in shock and concern, and runs to Zack to stop him. She grabs onto his arm and begs him to stop, and Zack looks back to her with a monstrously cold and bloody look in his eyes and face. But as he looks to her with emotionlessly malevolant intent, Selia looks to him in tears and fright. She pleads to him to stop and not to fight like this anymore. However, after a long silent moment, Zack breaks from her grabbing his arm, and proceeds to kill the others for interfering.

Selia tries to stop him, but as she does, Zack's body suddenly stops and Zack's mind is somehow returning. Zack immediately grabs and tries to tear off the red cystal on his forehead, while telling someone to get out of his head. Dark Zack is then shown within is subconscious and says that he knew that Zack would fight it eventually, and if Zack wants to stop this, then he will gladly comply. Zack continues to struggle back to normal, but his body seems to be cracking and bleeding greatly to the point that he's about to be broken to pieces, and his Power Level is fluctuating out of control. Dark Zack then notices that Selia had heard what he said and tells her through telepathy to keep Zack safe and well, for Zack will have to fight him in the Mental Realm to gain control over this newfound form and power. Dark Zack then says his farewell, and Zack finally tears out the crystal, but roars and screams in intense pain and agony, and all the energy from his demonic body then dissipates, which sends great shockwaves of dark energies that escape from his body. Selia, Marka, and everyone else sees this, and Zack is back to normal again. However, Zack has his head lowered, and everyone wonders what happened to him. Suddenly, out of nowhere, all of the energies that Zack had unleashed are now being transferred into his body, and he is now completely healed. Zack then raises his head, and eyes are shown to be that of his Dark Mode, but they quickly revert back, and Zack is unaware of what just occured. Zack feels heavy, and as he looks around, he sees all the destruction and ruin that has happened. Selia shows up beside him, and Zack wonders if she's okay. She smiles weakly, and still has tears on her face. Zack looks around more, and witnesses Neon on the ground with Zack's sword still in his chest. Zack is horrified by this and runs to Neon. Zack asks Neon on how did he get his sword to his chest, but Neon can hardly try to speak, yet keeps a smile on his face. Marka tells Zack that he really is a young fool, and Zack looks to Marka. Marka swiftly appears before Neon and pulls out the sword and throws it to Zack. Marka gives Neon a healing potion to completely heal himself, and tells Zack that they should finish this fight now.

Zack looks to Marka on his entire body and sees that he is far too wounded to fight. Zack asks him if this was all his own doing, and Marka says yes. After hearing that, Zack instantly heals Marka to have this fight be settle fair and square. Marka is surprisd by this, and Neon and Selia are also speechless from this. Marka says that if Zack wants this to end fairly, then it's time for them to start off by fighting in their mobile suits first. Zack agrees, and the Siegfried comes to him for combat. Marka also calls his Akatsuki unit, and prepares to fight Zack for the final time in their mobile suits. As they finally engage one last time, Selia and Neon now go to help the others to recovery.

While Zack's fight against Marka still rages on, Kain and Akuhiei are seen still alive, with Marka smirking and they try to interfere their fight. They keep Zack away from Marka by clashing their weapons to Zack's dual Sword of Destiny, and Zack is greatly surprised to see them still alive (despite that they were in near death from Zack's imperfect D.M.W. form). Zack and the Brothers keep their distance from each other, and Marka frowns with a slight grunt. Kain and Akuhiei now ask that, before they proceed, they want to ask Marka a question, and Marka wonders what that may be. They asks on what happened to the rest of their armies, as well as all those that have fought in this War of the Realms. Marka simply answers with his eyes close that they died, and the Death Brothers wonders if he means all of them, and Marka says yes, for they all died. They seem unease from this, but the Death Brothers say that if that's so, and they focus their attention on Zack. Zack asks them on why they are defending him, but they are still trying to fight Zack off. After a brief and pointless fight, Zack easily beats them, but doesn't kill them and he says to them to stop it. Kain and Akuhiei are badly beaten from the early fight, and Marka looks to them with no expression. They get up on their feet again, and say to Zack that they can't stop now, and Zack asks why did they come here in the first place, seeing that their in no condition to fight. Kain and Akuhiei now prepare their weapons, but at that moment, the Death Brothers disappear, and marka and Zack realizes that they are behind him, and point their weapons to his [Marka] neck. Marka questions them on what they are doing, but they still maintain their focus. Kain and Akuhiei tell Marka that they are going to try and persuade him to not destroy all of existance in this universe, and for Marka to use the Anti-Universal Crest to remake all of existance into a much more suitable place. They even remembered about what Marka said about that, if he wanted to destroy all of existance, they would have no other choice but to obey him. Kain and Akuhiei express honestly that they slightly felt that they wouldn't mind seeing all this disappear, but that's what they thought without much thinking. Zack maintains his guard, while Marka looks to them without turning his head. Kain and Akuhiei express that when they looked into their father's eyes, they thought that they were reminded of the time that they had with Zack, and how they looked to him with respect, for it was the reason why they stood by Marka's side in the first place. However, they also revealed that it was the time during their fights with Darth Vader and Yoda in the Temple of Time that they had remembered something a long time ago. Back then, they wanted to change things into something better, and to protect the innocent from danger, for it was their desire, and Marka just looks with a much more frowner face and disappointment. Kain and Akuhiei say that Zack, his friends and of themselves had the same beliefs, as that was the reason why they stood by them in the Mandalorian Wars, and why they trained hard to fight by their side, even if they weren't there anymore, and marka pulls out his hands from his pockets. Zack then puits his guard down from hearing this, and Kain and Akuhiei also expressed that, when they thought that Zack and his friends had abandoned him and his brother, the sheer emptyness of that would-be betrayal transformed his admiration and respect into anger and hatred, but realized that it was pointless to hold on to that, and now want to make things amend again. Zack looks on more, and Kain and Akuhiei now want to know that, if Marka now has the power to change all of existance, and if he makes it the way that it should be, as they slightly lower their weapons, then they shall kneel before him once more. They continue on, and Marka seems to be cracking his neckbone, and gripping his hand open and then tightly. They even tell Marka that, if he chooses to destroy all of existance out of hatred and revenge, as they sharply point near his neck with their weapons, then they will have no other choice but to stop him. They continue to say, as the winds seems to be blowing even harder than normal for a slight moment, that nothing is born of vengeance, and now that God, Jesus, Adas, Berial and the rest are dead from this War of the Realms, the only ones that can stop marka are them, and Marka's hand then glows in crimson energy, but only Zack sees this. Kain and Akuhiei now ask Marka on what his answer is, but Marka, after a moment, tells them that he's afriad that's impossible.

Marka then fuels himself within a powerful column of energy that causes the ground to crumble and the skies to blow strong winds, and Zack notices that he's planning something while guarding against the energy's massive pressure. Kain and Akuhiei yell to Marka not to do this, but as they thrust their weapons to Marka, he stops them with his bare hands with no effort. Marka then tells them that they don't have sufficient power to stop him, and he uses Force Grip to keep them immobilize and helpless. Marka then crushes their weapons, and tells Kain and Akuhiei that he appreciates their help, because thanks for their long conversation and interference, they have given him enough time to let the Anti-Universal Crest full-power to course and spread throughout his entire body, and Marka's hand then generates two Spear of Midnight Blacks. Zack tries to stop him, but Marka's Power Level Pressure prevents him from stopping Marka. Marka then mercilessly and ruthlessly impales Kain and Akuhiei, and they are in great pain. With that done, Marka then turns around, while Kain and Akuhiei fall to the ground. They try to reason with him again, but Marka is frustratingly irritated and throws them away with great force with his feet, and as they are near their ends, he unleashes fully charged Force Lightning on them that completely burns and incinerates them, and their bodies fall to the ground from 5,000 feet, and causes a massive impact, and Marka stands expressionless with his back turned on them. Seeing that Marka has just seemingly killed his sons, Zack yells out to him in anger and disgust to Marka, and Marka turns his attention to him. Zack yellingly asks him on how could he be so cruel while cursing him, and Marka asks him on what he's talking about. Zack then continues asks him on how could he do what he just did just now and to his own sons, for they have served faithfully by his side and yet that is how he repays them. Marka asks on what difference does that make, and Zack asks what he means by "what difference". Marka then looks to the location to where Kain and Akuhiei fell to their deaths, and clarifies to zack that they were his enemies, and that it's not really part of his character, nor does it make any sense to him to show a sense of pity for them. Zack, however, corrects him that he doesn't pity them, but what he doesn't like and what he cannot forgive, is how Marka can do that to his own family or even to his own comrades. Marka is unflinched and lowers his head, but tells Zack, "To tell you the truth, I never saw Kain or Akuhiei as my own family. Nor did I saw anyone in this cause as one of my own comrades, either. They were all just pawns for me to use until my goals were achieved." and he gives a smirk from this. Zack then yells out Marka's name in anger, and his H.D.W. form goes into a rage, and all of the power levels go at full throttle, as they fuel at full strength, Zack is in an enormous column of power, and continues to charge his Power Level to the max.

With it finally set, Zack in his H.D.W. state, and Marka in his full power of the Anti-Universal Crest, Marka then decide to finish this with everything he's got. Marka then summons his final power and weapon, and declares "Obliterate it all to nothing, Speara Ragnara!!!". With that done, Marka is then engulfed in a massive column and dome of crimson dark energy, and a vast twister like power transfers into his right hand. Seeing the vast power that Zack and Marka are unleashing, Selia, Aeon, Neon, Daira, Mammon, Lily, Edward and the rest try to hurry to Zack as fast as they can. Edward hopes that Zack will be fine, and Neon hopes so, too. Back to where the fight continues, Marka has gained a tranformed weapon, and tells Zack that he never dreamed that he would have to use it, but, unfortunetly, he is almost out of time. He then readies himself and calls out to Zack to come and fight, while introduces him his weapon, Speara Ragnara. But reminds Zack that, now that he has summoned his transformed weapon, he will have no chance of getting anywhere near him. Zack then scoffs and says to Marka that he's still arrogant until the very end, and prepares his sword. Zack looks to Marka with determination, while Marka looks triumpthant, and after that silent moment of stare, they then unleash their signature attacks with their battlecries, and a massive explosion occurs when their attacks come at each other simultaneously.

Zack feels Kallen's death and life within him.

While Zack fends off Marka, Kayle and the others had to fight off Kallen when she gave into the Evil Legacy to destroy all of existence. After her death by the hands of Kayle, Kallen's power and life essence is then transferred into Zack's Sword of Destiny, and Zack felt her death and life now within him. Though it served as none of his concern, Marka asked Zack if he feels guilty over the death of his former friends. Zack, after a long moment of silence, told Marka that he was determined to end this war and save Selia, no matter what. Thus, he cannot change what has now transpired. Refocusing his resolve on the pressing matter, Zack told Marka to continue where they left off. Marka complies, and the two continue their battle.

Marka and Zack continue to clash their swords, and both combatants are of equal level of power and strength. Marka then makes several attacks to incapacitate Zack, but Zack manages to dodge and block them. Marka then makes a surprise attack on him, and Zack is sended to the ground with an impact. Marka then generates and discharges two wind slices, and they land and impact on Zack's location. Marka then looks closely, and sees that Zack used his form's Power Level to harden his body like his Resolve Form, and expresses his impressment with it, but Zack just says that he has finally figured out what's at the heart of his attacks, and Marka wonders if he has. Zack then points his right sword to him, and they continue to throw their attacks again. As Marka is slightly distracted, Zack goes into hyper-speed, and creates after-images of himself while saying that most of Marka's attacks come during openings that his opponents leave when they strke, and now asks Marka on what if there are no openings. Zack now attacks Marka, and Marka barely manages to block his attacks. As Zack sends Marka to the ground and makes multiple strikes, Zack unleashes his Divine Getsuga attack on Marka, and the latter is greatly pushed by the pressure of the attack. Seeing that he can't defend against it for long, a massive impact occurs in Marka's location, and Zack looks to the spot focusly. As they dust clears, Zack sees that Marka is unharmed and Marka comments about defending oneself with Power Level Pressure, as his body glows from his power. Zack grunts from this with displeasement, and Marka admits that he's not used to this sort of technique and that Zack ruined his clothing, and has it repaired automatically. Marka continues to say that this defense of Zack's can limit the amount of damage that he can conflict, and he disengages his glowing power. Marka then says that if Zack thinks that his attacks are only counter attacks, then it's time to show him Speara Ragnara's true form.

All of a sudden, Marka points his sword to Zack and the atmosphere begins to blow like a hurricane, and Zack wonders on what is going to happen now. Marka tells him that he should know that his primary elemental power is wind, and that wind can generate electricity through atmospheric pressure. He points his sword at the sky, while all the power of the wind and the Anti-Universal Crest in his body course into the sword and says that with that of the wind, he can create lightning. His sword now infuses it with the lightning and discharges it to Zack to attack him. However, Zack manages to dodge it by jumping into the air, but the lightning begins to followsuit. Marka is impressed and says good luck to Zack, but now matter how fast he moves or where he goes, as Zack contnues to dodge them, Marka says that he can't out-run lightning, especially when fuelled by the Anti-Universal Crest. Marka then unleashes another lightning attack, but in the color of red from the Crest, and it manages to hit Zack, along with the other lightning that was chasing him before. Marka then dashes to him in high-speeds and slashes him across the chest. Zack groans from the pain, and Marka kicks him to send him crashing to the ground, and Zack is heavily pummeled from the attack.

Marka now finds this somewhat embarressing for Zack and asks him if he's finished. Zack barely gets up and curses Marka, and Marka says that he's pathetic. But tells him not to worry, for in a moment, the Anti-Universal Crest will completely fill him with it's awesome power. Zack stares at him, and Marka reveals to him that he never told him this, but that there is actually more than one Anti-Universal Crest in the whole infinite universe. Zack asks him on what he just said, and Marka continues to say that, when he unleashes the Anti-Universal Crest within him, it will detonate the rest of them, thus all of existence will be no more. Zack tries to get up and asks Marka on why would do that, for his friends, his enemies, and even himself on why would he murder everyone. Marka now looks to Zack with slight anger and says that the Sith and the realms have became corrupted long ago. He continues that the Sith were given so much power from the power of the Force and from the realms themselves, but despite that, they refused to sever their ties with the conflicting Jedi for so many eternity. And that the Jedi themselves are even more corrupt, for they selfishly slaved the Sith species from the very beginning, both using them for war, and disposing them when they are useless. Marka then says that he'll never forgive them for the continuous crimes that they have committed, so now he'll take them all down with him. And that the Jedi, the Sith, and every last being in existence will be destroyed. Zack calls him a fool, and that he completely lost it. Marka laughs and corrects Zack by saying that he is quite sane, and that the world has gone crazy is all. Marka then goes back to his normal demeaner and says that it is not important, because the world is about to come to an end. Zack yells to him that that's what he thinks, but he'll stop him right here and now, and manages to get back on his feet.

At this time, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon arrive ahead of the others, and Neon and Mammon try to help Zack out, but are stopped by their brothers. Neon asks Aeon to let go, and Mammon says the same to Daira. Daira says that this is Zack's fight, and that they shouldn't interfere. Before they could complain, Aeon tells them that, in combat, Zack was more than a match for God Almighty before they got back here, and that he just regained his senses from some time ago against Berial and the rest of their armies, so they should believe in him for now. Neon and Mammon are strucked hard by this, but understand and they stand back to see this fight end soon. Zack impales the ground with his sword to keep his stand and asks Marka if he thinks that he's just going to stand by and let him destroy everything. Marka just casually says that, what he thinks is, there isn't much Zack could do in his current condition, and Zack tells him to shut up, and he pulls his sword for combat. Marka then lowers his head and closes his eyes and says that just a little longer and this never-ending nightmare will be over. He then instantly teleports down to Zack's location from several yeards and says that, until then, it'll be amusing to watch Zack die, moments before the world finally comes to an end, and he points his sword directly to Zack. Zack thinks to himself that he's not focusing and that he can't move and inch from the damage he was inflicted on. He begs for his body to move again and again, and out of nowhere, Dark Zack is shown in his mind with only his grin visible and says that it will.

Zack is temporarily possessed by Dark Zack against Marka.

Then at that instant, Zack gasps and his iris's turn yellow, and a sudden burst of energy explodes from within his body. Then at that, Zack then swiftly slashes Marka on the chest and shoulder area with a Dark Getsuga-filled Sword of Destiny. Marka is shocked of this, and Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon witness this, and Zack just looks on with unflinching killer intent, and Marka is greatly taken aback. Zack, now under control of Dark Zack, snarls with killer intention to Marka, and lunges at him in high-speeds. Marka tries to fight back, but Dark Zack is proven to quick and strong for Marka to handle, and he attacks him in rapid succession. With one final strike, Dark Zack strikes a fatal blow to Marka's wound again, and does so with another Dark Getsuga strike, causing much blood to spew out form Marka's body and causing much destruction on their location. As it clears up, Marka is shown with a big wound with blood dripping out, and Dark Zack just puts his sword is position. Neon and Mammon are speechless from this, and Daira and Aeon notice about that Dark Getsuga attack, and wonders where it comes from. Marka barely balances from the strike, and asks on where this power is coming from. However, in a second, Zack's iris's go back to normal, and Zack is back in possession of his body, but is confused on what just happened, as he places his hand on his face.

Marka then gathers that this must be Zack's inner power, and Zack focuses his attention back to Marka. Marka then realizes that even this power has deserted him, but that on the other hand, he has a powerful ally in the Force energies, and great amounts of the Force surround Marka's body to heal him. However, Marka realizes that he can't absorb Force energies anymore, and wonders why. He now realizes that Daira and Edward used those gadgets to disable his ability to absorb Force energies and render him helpess from then on, not actually intended to kill him then. Marka then congratulates them for their work. Zack now chuckles and now sees that he's not invincible anymore now, and that they are on level ground now. Marka just looks on, and suddenly, the Anti-Universal Crest symbol on his bare-chest glows fiercely red, and Marka grins that it's already too late to do Zack any good. Zack asks him on what did he meant by that, and Marka says that the end is near, while calling Zack by title, and that very soon the Anti-Universal Crest will fill him with its power, and that he'll use this power to destroy all of existence, and all of this will come to an end. Zack lunges to Marka and yells that not if he can help it, and Zack's sword clashes with Marka's, and a great crumble occurs on them from the impact of the clash, and Zack says that if he unleashes that power, he'll kill him. Marka then retorts to Zack to stop him if he can, and Zack obliges to that. They continue to throw slash-to-slash at each other, but can't land a hit on the other. As they put their swords in lock, Marka then tells Zack that he doesn't even begin to understand how incredible the power of the Crest really is, and Zack asks so what, and Marka says that he'll demonstrate for him, as he'll select the nearest one and detonate it now.

While the fight continues to rage on, Zack and Marka land several impacts on the surrounding grounds, until Zack is striked to the ground with a heavy blow. Marka then uses the wind element to levitate himself in the air, and Zack yells out on why he's doing this. marka then tells him not to worry, for the Crests are buried far apart from each other around the universe. So if he detonates a single one of them, then the explosion won't have any effect on the others. Zack curses him and tries to get up. Marka then declares to Zack to behold and learn of the power of the Anti-Universal Crest, as he unleashes a stream of dark lightning to the skies to hit a nearby planet. Zack can only watch, but the lightning was stopped by a dark shroud. The shroud neutralizes the lightning and heads for Marka. Marka is then engulfed in it, but slashes his way out of it. As it clears, Darth Kraynos is then seen from a distance, and Zack is surprised, and Daira, Mammon, Aeon and Neon are glad to see him there. Marka curses Darth Kraynos, and Viloura gets there in a flash and expresses some reassurence that they manage to get there on time. Zack looks to her and is also surprised to see her there. Viloura walks a few steps forward and says that she's sorry for taking too long to get here, but says that everyone in the universe are currently trying to seal the crests from within the countless planets, and Zack seems glad for it. However, Viloura also states that it will take some time before everyone can properly seal them, so the only question here is, whether they'll be detonated before they get the chance to seal them, or if Zack, who is now speaking with a grin on his face and his sword in position, can defeat Marka in time and thus destroy the Anti-Universal Crest from his body and resulting the destruction on the rest at the same time. Zack is really glad and satisfied from knowing this, and Viloura further clarifies that, in either case, it will be a race against time for them. Viloura then asks Marka on what he plans to do. Marka gives a single quick chuckle and asks her, "Isn't it obvious?", and his body is being fueled by the wind and further says, "I'm going to kill all of you.", and Zack, Darth Kraynos, and Viloura look to him with fierce determination and Marka finally says, "Every last one!!!", and unleashes a large stream of dark lightning on them. Fortunetely, the attack is blocked by Kraynos's dark shield barrier, and Marka just looks on for a second. Marka then sees Zack above him, and they clash their swords again, while causing a large crumbling impact, and their dark lightning and Getsuga energies flow out of their weapon. Zack tells Marka to forget them and that he's his opponent, and Marka obliges, and they continue their tremendous battle.

Zack and Marka go at high-speeds, and they cause impact and strikes around the surrounding areas. As the battle renders rocks and boulders to float in the air from the battle, Zack and Marka try to attack each other with their speeds and swords. With that gone, they continue to impact everywhere else, and are further away from the others. Kraynos tries to help his son and tries to pull out his sword to assist him. But Viloura stops him and tells him to stay put until this fight is over. Kraynos asks on why they should and that they should help their son. But Viloura tells him that she's very well aware of the danger he's in and feels the same concern as her husband does, but they need to stand back and let him fight on his own, as he will eventually have to when the last war will soon come. After a quick and hesitant moment, Kraynos reluctantely agrees to stay back, and cannot help but watch the battle from their location. Marka and Zack attack each other again, and cause large spires and impacts on their current location. They then distance themselves from each other, and both of them nearly out of breath. Zack then grins and asks Marka if that's all the power he's got, but Marka is out of breath and tells him to shut up. Marka then keeps his stance and thinks to him while sweating that he's used up too much power in compressing the Anti-Universal Crest, and he closes his eyes and says there is only one thing left to do.

Zack tries to regain his breath, but as he does, he witnesses Marka planning something. Marka's body then resonates with dark energies, but then tranforms even darker and more frightening. Marka then inhales and exhales for a few seconds, and a sudden burst happen when he looks to Zack. Zack prepares to defend himself, and Marka lunges at him with great speed. He makes several strikes to Zack, and Zack seems to have trouble of countering them, and Marka unleashes an even dark and much stronger wave of dark lightning on him. Zack is blocking it with his swords, but is greatly being pushed by its strength, thus causing an enormous trail of damage. Kraynos looks on with concern for his son, but Viloura keeps a calm composure and thinks to herself that it's strange that, while Marka can't absorb Force energies anymore, his attack aren't getting any weaker, and Marka stands with a grin. Viloura further speculates that, in fact, his attacks seem to get even stronger than they were before, and wonders why. After a quick thought, she now knows why, and looks to Zack to inform him. Zack barely stands from the lightning, and Viloura calls out to him, and he looks to her. She tells him to just keep it up a little more, and Zack looks confused of this. She continues to say that Marka is already out of Force energy, and that, right now, he's using the power of the Crest that's in his body to increase his abilities. Marka then looks to her and scoffs and asks on what difference can it make, and he fires a dark lightning towards her. Kraynos tries to stop it, but Viloura holds him back and neutralizes it with her hand, but ends up feeling slight pain from it. Marka then turns his attention on Zack and calls them fools and that they don't get it, for he says that the Anti-Universal Crest will be complete in just a few more minutes, but the question is, wether his body will hold long enough, or if they succeed in defeating him first. Zack tries to regain his breath and tells Marka that he already told him that, and as he does regain his breath, he shouts to Marka that he's finished and that he knows it. Marka just smirks and clarifies that that sounds like nothing but an empty threat coming from someone as beaten down as him. Marka then suddenly disappears and reappears behind Zack. Zack tries to evade him, but is sended to a large spire from Marka's kick strike. As Zack crashed to the spire, Marka asks him on no more boasting from him, and Zack just groans from the pain. Marka then begins to generate more darker lightning in his sword and declares that there is no more holding back now, and wonders if Zack can handle this, and he unleashes an enormously powerful dark lightning to Zack. Kraynos, Mammon and Neon try to stop it, but before it reached Zack, it is sended to what seems to be broken parts of weapons. Marka is confused by this, and Zack sees the broken weapons absorbing the attack. Zack then has a flashback of Marka destroying his sons' weapons before impaling them with his pair of Spear of Midnight Black, and now realizes that those broken weapons are Kain and Akuhiei's. The parts of the weapons have completely absorbed the attack from Marka, and explodes into energy wave particles, and are then transferred into Zack's body, who's body now fiercely radiates with combine power and energies from his forms, and that of Kain and Akuhiei's. Marka then looks disturbed by this, and Zack raises his head and opens his eyes that glow yellow to blue. Zack then places both his swords together, which combine, and roars out with an enormous column of blue Power Level energy and Spiral Force energies that also rejuvenates his body.

While Zack charges to full power, Selia is then heard from a distance behind Aeon and the rest. Edward and the rest show up as well, and Edward wonders if Zack is alright, and Lily hopes so. They made it out from the dead trees of the surrounding of the Temple of Time, and they see Viloura and Kraynos from a long distance, and that Daira, Mammon, Aeon and Neon are beside them. Daira and surprised to see them there, and Selia is glad to see them here. Kayle then turns to where Zack is and shouts out for concern, and the rest see him there against Marka Ragnos. Selia and Lily are worried, and Edward asks Daira, Mammon, Aeon and Neon to help him. Aeon looks to Edward and turns his head to Zack's location and says that it's tempting to interfere in this fight, but they need to wait. Selia, Edward and Lily try to ask on why they have to stay back, and Daira says that he begins to think that Zack is somewhat thinking himself as being similiar to Marka and the Sith species, and Mammon and Neon look to Daira with ponderment. Daira says that Zack has indeed became an Ultimatum, but he is more than that. Zack is shown still charges his power, and Daira continues to say that he's a person, but he's not like any other person in existence. Before he gained the Sword of Destiny, and soon enough his Sith'arian powers, all he wanted was the strength to protect those close to him. Zack finally got the power he wanted, but from that point on, he was pulled between two worlds that are apart. The world of light, and the world of darkness. Two sides in which one continues to bring wars on the other, while the other wants to bring peace and love to all sides of existence. Daira then lowers his head and states that they can really understand such a burden that Zack holds. Selia, Edward, Lily and the rest look on and Daira continues to say that Zack endures that painful struggle of the worlds, has suffered much from the battles that have been inflicted on him, yet still he moves forward, and Daira asks if any of them can be that strong, and everyone lowers their heads. Daira then looks to Marka and says that Marka and the Sith are also people too, but not like any other. For they are of two worlds, but have suffered in both. Which is why Marka can only be stopped by Zack; because he bares the same burden. So all they can do is stand back and trust him. Selia, Edward and Lily look deeply concerned, but Aeon says not to worry, and everyone looks to him and he continues to say that Zack is going to win this fight. Selia and the others then smile and look to Zack and they say that they know he will. Zack then makes a loud roar, and his Power Level and Spiral Force energies then reach their maximum, and the surroundings now crumble largerly from the overwhelming power.

Zack then says to Marka that it's time to settle this, and that he is going finish him with everything he's got. Marka is in a smirk "Excellent! And I shall do the same to you.", and he then fuels himself in a massive column of crimson power. Marka speaks out to Zack to strike, and Zack obliges. They begin to thrust in full power, and Zack and Marka yell out their battle-cries, and clash their swords together, and it causes a massive dome of combined opposing Power Levels. The shockwaves from the clash of their power levels then put everyone on the defensive from it's massive power, and the grounds are crumbling from the massive mixture of the clashing forces of their Power Levels in conflict. Marka Ragnos then tells Zack that the Anti-Universal Crest is backed by the strength of all those that have fought from this day, and from the Sith of past, present and future. He then asks Zack if he can withstand it, while calling him by title and pushing him with brute force of strength. Zack tries to keep his balance against Marka's overwhelming power, while the ground around him and back are breaking apart, and Zack asks him on what has he done to help those who fought for him and God up to this point in this war, especially the Siths themselves, and Marka reacts to this. Zack then reminds him that he himself said that they were nothing but tools for him to use and dispose of, especially his own family. So how can he really be this cruel, and that he's not going to lose to someone like him. Zack pushes further on Marka's sword, and the grounds around them begins to crumble even more. Marka maintains his cool and tells Zack that he knows nothing of him, or what he had gone through. Marka then looks back on his memories and tells Zack that people always fear and hate those who are better than they are, and they desire to rid of them from their lives. Marka even says that Zack's friends are no different, and it shows Zack's friends and families in memories. Marka says that soon they will begin to fear his power, and try to distance themselves from him. As they have begun to fear and hate him for being more powerful than them. The memories then fade, and Marka asks Zack in anger on where is the logic in knowing that he cannot change what fate has in store for him, and why to protect that kind of people when it finally reaches it's conclusion. But Zack retorts to saying that it's not about logic, or of it's conclusion, but it's what he feels, and for what is in his heart. He will protect them from all threats because he wants to, and for that, he would even risk his own existence. Marka then tells him that, then he will lose his existence and fall to ever-lasting nothingness. Just as though who are foolish to defy destiny, and lose their very lives from that process. Marka's Anti-Universal Crest on his chest then radiates with a burning crimson glow, and Neon and Mammon try to help Zack from it. However, Aeon tells them to stand back and leave it to Zack. Neon and Mammon still want to help, but Daira says that they only to have faith in Zack and watch. As their swords are still in critical clash of power and the surroundings begin to break and crumble, Marka then says that this is now the moment that he has been waiting for, for nothing else matters anymore, for this is the end of everything, and tells Zack that if he really wants to change destiny, then he'll have to cut him down with his full might, for his whole being is that of complete darkness and evil with no light. Because for him, only weaklings would rely on the light and believe that they can achieve anything, and for that, he then roars that weaklings die, and a massively vast shockwaves of darkness and evil is then unleashed from within Marka's body, and Zack is tossed far away from it's power. However, Zack maintains his balance, and energizes his body and power, and finally goes into high-speeds, and yells out Marka's name, as he breaks through the massive dome of Marka's power. As Zack finally gets to Marka, things then go into a dramatic slow motion, while the opponents look at each other, and with that, they then swing their swords as they roar out in battle cry. As a sudden flash occurs from the swings, a massive explosion occurs, and fires as an enormous column of energy to the skies and space, showing colors of red and blue that tear the clouds apart, and finally dissipates.

Zack and Marka's last stand.

With the blast column gone, and the dust clears, Marka is seen with a strike stance in stand still position, and Zack is seen in a final striking position with his sword, and his form goes back to normal, but still seems to be in his H.D.W. form to some extent. After a short moment of silence, Zack falls to his knees and Marka now stands perfectly still and looks to the skies with a smirk, and Zack seems to show a face of pity. Marka then says that "Well, I guess this is it then. I must admit, I am a little disappointed", and his entire armor on his arms begins to break off greatly. Marka then turns around to Zack and says "I guess I won't be able to live long enough to see...", and his chest armor breaks off completely, and his body begins to show cracks that glow crimson red, along with the Anti-Universal Crest that glows fiercly on his heart and says to Zack "Whether or not, you are possibly the only one who will stay right path, as I've tried.", and Zack has a sad expression on his face while hearing Marka's words. Marka then takes a moment with a smile, and as the cracks go to his face and his helmet breaks away, he finally says "Crown Prince Zack Xargus, I....", and his entire body shatters into resonating energy particles that brighten the enitre planet, and they are then transferred to Zack's sword. As they transfer in, and are kept in, Zack says to himself "Damn you, Marka.", and his attire goes back to normal H.D.W. colors and he begins to slowly fall. But before he begins to fall, Kayle grabs him, and Zack is surprised to see her here, and Kayle asks him if he's alright. But before Zack could answer, Aeon, Neon, Kraynos, Viloura, Wookimo, Gwen, Edward and Selia go to see Zack and wonder is he's alright as well, and Zack just greets them for arriving. At that time, Revan sees that Daira and Mammon are relieved to see that Zack survived, and tells them to go check on him as well, and they do so.

Zack's regret over Marka.

Neon then asks Zack to let him heal his wounds, since he looks all beaten up, and Zack says sure, but says to wait for a moment, and he gets up on his feet. Zack then turns around and walks toward Marka's death spot, and looks to the sky that Marka looked at with a smile. Zack then says that, in the end, Marka Ragnos had finally gotten what he wanted the most. Daira then speculates if that was Marka's intention all along. But Zack says who knows, but does say that, what it really seemed like, all that Marka really wanted, was to put his never-ending struggle of power...to a close.

After the conclusion of the fight with Zack and Marka, A small lump of flesh begins to regenerate at will. As it does, is is revealed to be Berial, from the ripped off arm that Dark Zack took from Berial during their fight. He crawls toward a hole to conseal himself from danger and to recover to his full strength, and mutters in a low voice that he has now the powers of all those that Zack has defeated, and will soon have more within 24 hours.

Seeing that Zack couldn't sleep, Selia went to go check on him. Zack is seen sitting on the edge of the cliff, holding on to an old book. She goes to him and asks him what's wrong. Zack hardly says anything, but now says that he feels bad about what happened so far, especially about Marka. Zack asks her on what she felt on the moment that he seemed to be not himself, but something else more terrifying. Selia couldn't put it into words, because she's still frightened of his demonic like form. She simply tells him that it was nothing to worry about, and Zack is slightly relieved from this. Selia then asks him on why he feels bad for Marka, and Zack shows her a book that belonged to him, and suddenly found it on their way here.

After a moment of thinking, Zack goes to the Superiors and asks them to help him control his darksider's power and his new form. They agree and they head off to where Zack fought off Marka Ragnos. There, Zack was put into his Mental Realm by the Xen Brothers and is now about to fight his darksider, Dark Zack. Zack finally re-enters his mind, and sees that the realm hasn't changed much. He then turns around and sees Dark Zack on his knees, and he [Dark Zack] bids him "Hey! long time no see, king." Zack then asks him on what he's doing here, and wonders on why he fought Marka to a fight that nearly took Neon's life, and everyone elses in the process. Dark Zack gets up, and just looks to Zack with an amusing face and smirk. Zack grabs his sword and asks Dark Zack again. Dark Zack then tells him that it wasn't his fault, for he WAS following Zack's desire from the fight. Zack is confused, but dismisses it, and now asks where Dantas and the other two are. Dark Zack asks him if he's talking about the ones within his Sword of Destiny, and wonders if it's the one in his hand, or rather, in his own hand, and Dark Zack pulls out the reversed colored Sword of Destiny from his back. Zack is confused and speechless of how he has the sword, and Dark Zack tells him why he looks confused, for he is HIS darksider, after all. Dark Zack tells him that, at this moment, he's the only one he'll have to settle with talking, and he leaps to Zack with his Sword of Destiny, and Zack manages to block it with his own.

All of a sudden, as the two clash within the Mental Realm, Zack's body in the real world suddenly awakens and begins to roar in anger. The Xen Brothers cry out to the others to get ready, and the barrier that they used is now starting to break apart from within. A massive column of dark energy is then unleashed from the barrier of Zack's body, and everyone tries to stand their ground. As they see closer, Zack's face is half of that of his undead demonc form, and it looks to the others with a snarling grin and fangs. Aeon and Neon tell everyone to get ready to fend it off for Zack to defeat his inner darksider to control it and maintain power over it. The possessed Zack now goes into a fury and lunges itself to the Superiors, and the Superiors now go on the defensive against the monstrous form of Zack's.

After their swords clash with eachother, they then distance from themselves, and Zack keeps a focused mind while Dark Zack looks on with a grin. They continue to fight each other, but Zack can hardly land a single strike on Dark Zack's body.

As Zack clashes sword with Dark Zack, he is suddenly in the Execution Stand where Selia's execution was held. Zack is confused of why he's there, and he happens to be in his Celestial Form. However, as he thinks to himself, God Almighty appears behind him and attacks. Zack manages to block it, and distance himself from God.

As Zack's sword begins to deteriorate, Zack hears a familiar voice saying "So you have yet to realize the importance of what it is that you have to hold onto in your heart, eh?", and it is now Marka Ragnos that stands in front of him in the Temple of Time. Zack is shocked to see that Marka is standing before him, but remembers that he is dead, and can't be here. He then says that he knows that THIS Marka is only an apparation. Marka then says that maybe he's right, but it doesn't matter right now.

As Zack goes back to his Mental Realm, he sees his sword deteriorating into nothing. Zack is shocked by this and calls for it back, but Dark Zack says, in a low and disappointed manner, that that's not going to happen. Not the way Zack is right now. Dark Zack then places his hand on Zack's face and throws him through 5 buildings. Zack is floating in the air, and Dark Zack is spinnng his Sword of Destiny. Dark Zack asks Zack of what is the difference between victory and defeat, and Zack is confused. Dark Zack is saying that he's isn't talking about strengths and power, or something so simple as that. He continues to say that things like hidden strengths and powers within us are what makes the difference between a lose and a win. Zack is still confused of this, and Dark Zack says that there are five answers: Resolve, Instinct, Courage, Wisdom, but most importantly, the will to protect. Zack is speechless of hearing this, and Dark Zack says that the will to protect is the strongest desire to have in your heart. And it is the reason why Zack has to not be distracted by the deaths of his enemies. But Dark Zack tells him that he suddenly relays on avoiding death and pain of others and enemies, and yells to him to not be distracted by those illusions and face them head on. Dark Zack throws his sword to Zack, and it lands on his chest where his heart is at. Dark Zack now looks at Zack with displease and says that he won't let him die for being sorry for himself. Dark Zack slowly walks to Zack and tells him that he has to give it everything he has, and keep it going until those he love will be safe. Dark Zack now grabs the sword in Zack and asks him if he still has the will to keep going, and has one last trick up his sleeve, then he better do it now. But if not, then this is goodbye, and Dark Zack frowns and closes his eyes from this and is about to pull the sword out of Zack's chest. Zack then says in his mind with weak words "The will to protect? Is that what I was losing from this fight?".

Zack encounters the illusions of Kain and Akuhiei

Zack is then pulled even deeper into his subconscious, and is seen on the ground like he's lying down. He is confused of what this is, and at that moment, two weapon blades impact on the ground, and they nearly touched and scratched Zack's face, and he gets up in panick. He then sees that it is Kain and Akuhiei that did that to their swords. Zack is confused and asks them if their next on this fight. Kain and Akuhiei are confused on what Zack means by those names, but they say that it makes no difference, for they came here to kill him, and they lunged their weapons to Zack. Zack manages to block them both in time, and backs away from them to keep himself safe. Zack then asks why Zack Kain and Akuhiei are fighting him when they're dead, and that they settled their fight long ago. They are confused on what he means by "Settled their fight.", and corrects him that they aren't dead. For as long as Zack has doubts, they will always live in him to instill fear and terror into his heart. Zack asks what they mean by that, and they answer. They say that every person has their light and dark moments, and it takes time for either of those to take surface within them.

Berial finally appears to be still alive and declares a death match with Zack to settle his vendetta once and for all. Zack, however, has no intention of fighting Berial to a death match, because he has to get his friends back to the ship. But Berial remains disuaded and attacks Zack to try to provoke him, but is sended away with only a push of Zack's hand. Zack asks Berial on why would he want to fight him when he knows the War of the Realms is over, and Berial says that it's never over until those who reside in those realms are dead and points to Daira and Mammon that they belonged to Heaven and Hell, so why didn't Zack kill them. Zack says that Daira tried to beg God to not kill Selia and tried to save her on his own, though it didn't work, he did helped out on taking out God for him. And that Mammon helped Zack through a his comlink before he got to Kortexx and helped him through the realm of Hell to get to Heaven to save Selia. With all their help, he gladly accepted them into his group, for they aren't just allies now but are also his best friends to the end, and Daira and Mammon are happy to hear Zack say those things, and Aeon and Neon comment that that was a good friendship speech, and Edward, Lily and Siegfried agree. Berial then asks Zack he'll kill him knowing that he tried to kill Selia more than once, but Zack just tells him no and to walk away, and calls him Matthew; since Daira told him his true name, and Berial is angered by this, especially for Daira sealing him away in that cube for a time. However, Berial tells him that he successfully absorbed the left over energies that the Devil, God and Marka had used in their battles with Zack, along with the energies of their armies and Sith'aru's own unfathomable power and energy (Which was after Sith'aru dispursted into a weather of dark and evil energies) and says that if Zack won't fight him, then he'll make him fight by generating and discharging a sphere of destructive power at Selia, Lily and Edward. Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon protect them, but Zack slices the sphere and says that if Berial wishes to fight, then he'll fight him to the death; to put an end to the War of the Realms. Looking satisfied, Berial then clashes blades with Zack and declares "Alright, bring it on! Now let's have a fair fight to the death!", and they look to eachother focusely. They then disengage their weapons and Zack says that sounds good to him, and Berial grins.

With everything prepared, Zack asks the others to stay on the pillar to keep themselves safe from the fight, and says that he'll be back to rejoin them. Selia is worried and Lily and Edward asks him if he intends to fight in his "new form" but Zack says that he won't, but will if it's necessary later on. Siegfried, Daira and Mammon wish him good luck and Aeon and Neon tell him to come back alive. Zack smiles to them and now dashes in the air and pulls out his Sword of Destiny and transforms into his H.D.W. form to fight Berial, while Berial enters his Despair form to fight Zack. They clash and Berial says that it's time to end this once and for all. Zack fights Berial on the ground and in the air to fight him on even odds, while Berial uses several blows and slashes to attack Zack but each one is blocked and countered. Zack and Berial clash with their swords, and the ground slowly crumbles and everything around them floats from their overwhelming power. Berial grins madly to Zack, while Zack keeps his focus on Berial in this fight. They disengage their swords, and Berial charges his Despair Flames with his left hand. Zack tries to counter it with his Divine Getsuga, but as it hits Berial's hand, Berial disengages the Despair Flames from that hand, and tosses his sword away and sending it flying. Berial then charges the Despair Flames in his other palm, and Zack realizes this. As the attack comes to his face, eveything turns dark for an instant, and the pillar where they are explodes from the flames and Zack's Divine Getsuga. Berial is shown flying out of the explosion and laughs with insanity. As Berial is seen on a pillar, he tells Zack that it's been only a day since they fought to a death match and says that they can finally kill eachother this time, and wonders by asking him if he feels the same way as well, while calling him by title. But Zack, as he is seen unharmed from the attack but with massive crumbles around him, says that he's wrong, because he didn't started this fight just to kill him in cold blood. But Berial tells him not to give him that pathetic lie and admit that he always wanted to grab him by the throat and slaughter him into a bloody pulp for injurying Edward from Wolginda. He continues to say that the truth is, Zack wants to kill him, and the flashback goes back to Wolginda where Berial and Jesus appear before Zack and the others. Berial, as he interrupts Jesus, asks on who is the strongest and who's going to take him on. Edward realizes that it might be Zack that will be his target and screams to Zack to run away, but is punctured to near-death by Berial and renders him unconscious from then on, and Zack attacks Berial in response from that. Back in the present, Berial even goes on by saying that he can now get his own revenge, and says that the reason why he still has the scar on his chest from their first fight was because it served as a reminder to him to not forget to settle things for good, and to remind him of his humiliation. The flashmack goes back to where Zack roared out his Instincts Getsuga to attack Berial, and he had that scar ever since. Back to battle, Zack still looks to him with unflinching determination and focus, and Berial now wants this fight to get started, while boasting to Zack that he'll choke the life out of him and finally prove which one of them is stronger. With that speech done, Berial then retrieves his sword from a pillar and slashes the same pillar to try to aggravate Zack while reminding him about the time he had God kidnap Selia to bring Zack here in order to kill him personally, and he yells out to Zack to fight with some murder in him. However, Zack remains focused and with no murderous look in his eyes, and Berial asks him on what's wrong while calling him a "weakling", and that after all this time and all the fights that happened in this War of the Realms, Zack still doesn't look like he wants to kill him.

After a moment, Berial says that he's pathetic, and Zack says if that's right. Berial then appears behind Zack, but Zack manages to block it with his speed, but got a small cut from it. Berial then exchanges strikes on Zack, until clashes his sword to Zack's and asks him a question on why he chose to come here to begin with. Zack asks him if he's some kind of idiot and tells him that, as he said to him on the planet Wolginda, it was because he wanted to save Selia, and Selia and the others there hear this as well. Berial gives a small grin and scoff and says that if that's true then why didn't he take her out of there when Sith'aru started to destroy the surrounding areas on the planet, or when he came to her rescue from the realm of Heaven when he saw her there, and Zack reacts to this uneasy. He looks back, and he had to focus on stopping his enemies from capturing her again from then. Back to the present, Berial then wonders if he was just glad to see her alive and well, or just appeared to be on the surface of things. Zack hears this with a slightly notice of disturbance and Berial asks Zack if he was born naive or if he was just raised that way. Zack then looks back on when Selia was chained to the scaffold at the execution and demands Berial in anger on what he and the others did to her (ignorant of the fact that no one laid a hand on her, due to Zack's bond with her, and of Dark Zack), but Berial just simply looks satisfied in Zack's face and he continues to strike Zack until he is sended a short distance away from Berial. Berial remarks on what Zack said about only coming here to save Selia, but he says that he should let him enlighten him, as he doesn't seem to get it, and Zack looks confused. Berial then looks straight to Zack and says that he's wrong and that he only came here to fight and that he should give in to his hatred and anger so that he can kill him without any holding back. Berial then asks him if he's even aware of the circumstances that brought him here to begin with, and says that Zack is a Sith'arian, a hero, and Berial is a member of Heaven, a villain, and that the loser of this last battle will be slaughtered, as it has been that way for all eternity. Berial yells to him that, that is all the reason he needs to fight, and says that it's simple, for the last one standing gets to live. Berial then dashes straight to Zack, and both of them exchange heavy blows to each other, but neither can harm the other. Berial then backs away and goes to attacking Zack with his sword energized with his Despair Flames but was stopped when Zack discharges his Divine Getsuga. As it clears up, Zack notices that Berial is nowhere to be seen. At that moment, Zack senses Berial from behind, and manages to block his attack with ease. Berial then lunges to Zack in high-speeds, and a flash of blood occurs. Zack is shown unharmed with his sword is stance, and Berial is the one that got slashed by Zack's sword, and his arm is slightly bleeding.

Zack goes into his new form to save Selia and the rest from Berial's attack.

Seeing on how things are looking up in this battle, Berial goes to the ground as he says that Zack now has a murderous look in his eyes but then slits his hand with his Despair Sword on the ground and tells Zack that his current strength's not good enough and says that he's not at the level yet where he wants this battle to take place. He charges a cerunga-like attack in his slitted hand and it creates a vast waves of energy that rumbles the planet and the clouds to blazing fire, along with the winds blowing heavy, and Zack looks on while wondering what he intends to do next. Berial then says that this is the ultimate attack that only the ultimatums can use. As Zack floats in the air he notices that Selia is in the way of the attack. As the energy blazes like a typhoon in Berial grip, Zack begs Berial not to release it. Ignoring Zack's plead, Berial then unleashes the "Dark God Cerunga", which make a vastly powerful and enormous wave of energy that speed up to Selia's location, and Selia begins to gasp in fright. Fortunetly, the attack is deflected and explodes into a massive cloud of dark smoke, and Berial looks to see what had happened. With the smoke clearing, Zack is shown with a swinged, dark-formed Sword of Destiny, along with a new form in motion. Selia is worried by this, and Lily, Edward, Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon also wonder of his current condition of state. Berial now says that it's about time and Zack is shown with his dark and cold look in his eyes and a menacing growl, along with a swift thunderclap noise when instantly zoomed into his dark face and eyes.

Berial looks in satisfactory while Zack looks expressionlessly in his newly acquired form. Selia looks on at Zack's back and remain speechless. After only a moment, Selia stares at Zack with worryment and Zack finally looks to her and Selia begins to be greatly frightened. Zack sees this and is affected by her fright, as though he never saw her being scared of him before. Zack now redirects his attention to Berial, while apologizing to Selia and asks her if his new form frightens her. Selia says nothing from the fright of this from looking at his face, and Zack tells her that he knows that it's pointless telling her not to worry while he looks like that. But he tells her anyway that there's nothing to worry about, and that he'll finish this quickly, with Selia looking in concern.

After the talk, Berial then makes an insane laugh and says "It's about time. Now we can get down to business!", with him pulling his Despair Sword from the ground and placing it in a hold stance. He places his hand on it's blade while keeping it sharp, and a vast amount of wind and energy begins to surround him, causing the planet to shakes like crazy and the winds to blow heavily. After a moment, he then declares "Grind, Despaira!!!", and causes a massive explosion in his location and the whole planet to rumble out of control, along with the winds Blazing like infinite hurricanes, the skies darkening like shadows, and with the vast collection of dark energies from the unstoppable beasts from all over the world to the core of the explosion. Seeing on how much power Berial is absorbing into his body, Zack asks Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon to use all of their power and create shielding barriers to protect Selia, Lily, Edward and themselves until the battle is over. And that no matter what happens, don't take it down. They hesitate at first, but Zack tells them again to do it now. They comply and Selia, Lily and Edward also uses their own power to harden the barriers. With all the dark and evil energy from the planet being completely absorbed, the vast amount of dust and smoke begins to clear up and Berial is seen in a newly, far more powerful form than ever before.

Zack looks a moment in shock, but readies his sword in hand to fight. In a few seconds, Berial then makes a loud roaring scream that causes a vast Shockwave that nearly gets Zack off guard. As he is finished, Berial jumps and instantly appears before Zack. Zack is temporarily surprised and Berial punches him, sending him through fifteen pillars. He again appears in instant speed with giving Zack a punch to the face, but Zack catches it, but is send to the sky by a hard kick by Berial. Zack is frustrated by this, but notices that Berial has appeared behind him again, and Selia, Lily, Edward, Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon look in shock while Berial sends Zack with a slash of his claws to the ground, causing a dust explosion. With the explosion being enormous, Berial looks carefully to see where Zack is but sees nothing. He then asks Zack "What's wrong with you? You can do better than that! Come out and fight.", and Zack immediately appears behind Berial in a shade of darkness and declares "Malevolance Getsuga!!!" and it creates a massive wave of destructive energy on Berial's sight. Unfortunetly, as the clouds begin to waver, Berial laughs in insanity and Zack is seen on the open in a standing stance while Berial clears the smoke saying "Yeah Zack Xargus, that's what I'm talking about! And those eyes, I hate those damn eyes! And that's why you gotta die!!!" and Zack gives a dark, fierce look to Berial.

As the battle intensifies, a woman's voice is heared, "Look at that, he's distorted the atmosphere.", and a shockwave is sended from afar. A second woman's voice is heared, "A Dark God Cerunga! You think he'd know better than to use something that powerful within the confinds of Kortexx.", and a second shockwave is sended to a pillar base. A woman is seen stomping on the edge of a pillar base, and is shown as a woman named Apari and she asks in a cocky attitude if the second woman, who is Mila, if she scared. While Kannra is seen from the back, Mila just says in an even more cocky attitude that she isn't but is surprised to know that Apari can hear anything with her teeth chattering so loudly and calls her a coward. Apari is aggravated by this and the two start bickering. And the third woman, who is named Suunra, tells them to stop bickering in a calm manner and says that those words and their raised noises makes them look weak. Apari and Mila hear this and outburst to Suunra telling her stay out of their fight, and before any more, Suunra just turns her back on them and says "It's so very unattractive.", they get even angrier at Suunra but before they could continue, another massive shockwave is sended to their location and they can hardly guard it. Mila wonders on what Berial thinks he's doing and that everything is starting to get out of hand, and Suunra simply just looks displeased. Kannra then says "Try to relax." and the others notice while Kannra walks forward to the edge of the pillar and says "This battle is being fought by a host of Sith'arius in it's UNSTOPPABLE form. Your fear is understandible." and another, more effective shockwave hits them as it sends, though Kannra keeps her stance as though unaffected. Apari and Mila then put their bickering to stop and Kannra says that it is premornial fear, and tells them to relish it. They agree, but Kannra thinks in her mind "The question is, is the person he's fighting really just a hybrid?" and Zack and Berial are swiftly clashing over and over and "It hard to believe that even a Sith'arian hybrid could possess such powerful energies as dark and vastly powerful as his. It's almost as if.." and she gives a single sweat and a look of worryment and finally says "I'm watching a battle between two Dark Ultimatums." and Zack and Berial are circling in the air.

Zack defends himself from Berial's Sith'arius Form.

Zack and Berial then clash their strength, and as a shockwave is made, Berial sends Zack hurling towards a pillar and Berial says "Ha! I'm gonna take you down, Crown Prince Zack Xargus!!" and he dashes to Zack in high speed, pushing Zack to the pillar and causing a big cracking dent on it. Zack barely guards against Berial arm and Berial is surprised to see that Zack has finally managed to control the amount of power he has in his new form. He then asks Zack while he's struggling "Have you been dreaming since then? Or have you just been ignorantly gaining experience in the internal struggle you've had against your darksider since the last time the two of us fought? It doesn't matter, in fact I'm glad. It wouldn't be any fun if your form were to go unstable too quickly. Like it did last time!!" and he tries to give Zack the impaling strike with his right arm, but Zack reflexible grabs it. Zack then wonders if Berial is worried about this fight being boring, and he then says that he'll spice it up for him then, generating a vast aura of darkness around him that startles Berial. As Zack is freed from struggling, he then charges all the energy into his sword and slashes it to Berial chest, causing a large gush of blood to spew. Zack looks at him with cold and sharp fierceness in his eyes and says "You know what I think would be really boring? If you weren't in your UNSTOPPABLE state. So do me a favor," and he gives a menacing glare to Berial "and stay just the wat you are." Berial momentarily shocked and Zack hurls himself to him and clashes his sword to his left arm. Berial, being angered by this, continues to attack Zack with many punches and slashes and finally, sending Zack down to the ground again. Berial laughs as Zack crashed to the ground in an explosion and asks in insanity if that's all he got, and dashes in high speed to his location. But realizes that Zack suddenly thrusts to him from the smoke and dust and slashes his sword to Berial's left arm, causing a sparking cut and as he finishes, they land on opposites and blood spews from Berial's arm and Zack dashes to Berial and Berial in turn throws an attack that causes an explosion. Lily and Selia look on in worry and hope that Zack's alright. Zack is then seen on the end of the smoke, but Berial tries to strike him from behind but Zack manages to block it and attempts to slash him in the face but misses. They continue to throw blows, and Berial make a high kick that Zack dodges but causes another ground impact. As it clears, Berial tries circling Zack and attempts to attack and Zack does the same, with the two clashing and causing the ground to crack immensely. Selia looks with a sign of fear and as Zack and Berial begin to clash, she finds it hard to believe and wonders if that's really Zack, as Zack looks on a side with ferocity and murderous intent.

Zack shields his friends and Selia from Berial's attack.

As the battle continues, Zack continues to throws attacks at Berial, and Berial does the same. As Berial punches Zack to the pillar where Selia and the others are, he unleashes a barrage of 100 spike missiles. Seeing them coming, Zack swiftly dodges them, but immediately realizes that they are heading for Selia. Zack cries out to Selia and instantly gets in the way of the missiles, but is inflicted immensely by their effective power, which he ends up coughing a large amount of blood from his mouth. Selia looks on and sees Zack's back steaming of instense smoke and blood. Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon look to Zack with shock, while Lily and Edward are frightened of this and Selia asks why Zack got attacked on purpose. Zack says not to worry as this was nothing, but as he looks directly into Selia's eyes, she gets startled and sees, with a loud thunderclap noise and echo, a mental picture of Zack's Imperfect D.M.W. form that gave her a cold, dead look with no expression, and this reverts back to Zack looking at Selia currently. Selia is scared of talking and Zack is greatly hurt in seeing her terrofied, as if he lost someone dear to him. Zack turns and dashes to where Berial is waiting. Selia looks on in worryment as Zack goes back to the ground. Berial looks at him and comments that that stunt was quite impressive, and asks Zack if saving his friends was worth the pain. Zack can hardly speak, as he breathes heavy. Berial then wonders on what's wrong and says that he looks like he's out of breath. But Zack tells him that he should spend less time running his mouth, and more figuring out how he's going to survive. Berial scoffs at this and tells Zack that he can drop the tough guy act. He then pulls out his arm and fires a single spike missile, which is sended to a pillar mountain and destroys it very easily. Berial notices this and says that he hit Zack with 100 of those attack already and that his body is taking signifigent damage. As a moment passes by, Zack's left horn begins to crack and Berial says that his form must be at it's limit. Zack, however, places his left hand on his head tells him it's not even close as it heals his horn. Berial is frustrated by his stubborness but says that that is the way he likes it, and part of his horns begin to crack as well. Zack then says that he hates to break it to him, but that he looks kind of banged up himself. But Berial says "Afraid not." and he and Zack dash at each other and says "I've never felt better in my life!!!" and a massive explosion occurs.

As numerous explosions and impacts followsuit between Zack and Berial, Selia looks at their fighting and still remains scared of what's going on. As Zack and Berial soon clash, Selia thinks to herself to not be afraid, but still sees flashbacks of Zack's Imperfect D.M.W. that gives her a cold and dead look in her eyes. She grabs herself in terror and thinks to herself that whenever Zack looks at her with those eyes, she says that they aren't Zack's at all, as if they belong to someone else. And when Zack looks at her with those eyes, it's like he doesn't even see her, just like that day with his Imperfect D.M.W. form, the same eyes. And sees Zack in that form standing as though a resurrected demon, roaring with a monstrous scream that rattled the planet, killing the armies of Ragnos, stabbing Neon for trying to stop him from killing Marka in cold blood, and when he looked at Selia with no expression in his face while saying "I...WILL....PROTECT YOU." and Selia continues to get frightened and silently says Zack's name while Zack is still fighting Berial to a bloodbath. Both Zack and Berial are shown with blood spewing from their heads, but still go at it. As Zack attacks with his sword, it continues to only gives Berial several cuts and wounds. Zack is sended away from Berial's kick, and as Zack looks up, Berial goes at him in a rotating fashion attack. Zack swings his sword to him and Berial then gives a strike kick from above and causes an enormous explosion in thier location, and demolishing a large pillar in their location.

Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon watch the fight while they are still projecting their barriers and look concerned on Zack's condition, and Lily sees the fight continuing and wonders in shock and concern on what's happening to Zack. "Oh no. Even with his newly acquired form, Mr. Berial is still defeating him. In his fight with God Almighty, where he acquired the Celestial Form. And against Marka Ragnos in his obtained H.D.W. Form. Whenever Zack gains a new form and power, there was never any doubt that he was going to win. Whenever Zack transformed, there was no one in existance that can beat him. But now...". As Zack continues fighting Berial, he takes several assaults from Berial and ends up being slashed from torso to head, causing a torrent of blood gushing out of Zack and Lily continues talking "What's happening to Zack? How can he be losing like this?". Lily looks to Selia who's still shakes in fear. Lily then turns and tells Zack that he can do it, with Selia noticing and Daira with Mammon, along with Edward and Siegfried. Lily then asks what is she [Selia] waiting for, 'cause she needs to cheer him on too. Selia only says "Huh?", with Lily questioning if that the best she can do. He's out there risking his life for her and all she can say is "Huh?". Lily then asks her why she's so afraid of him, as if he's some kind of monster. Selia can't say anything from still being scared, and Siegfried, Aeon and Neon notice this with worryment. Lily continues and says that she [Selia] knows that he has a kind heart, she said so herself. It as plain as day, even Lily can see it. And she says that Zack cares about her to, he cares so much that when he heard Selia's name he attacked God Almighty with everything he had, with Selia in surprise. Lily tells her that she knows that he's an "Ultimatum" now, but not to also forget that Zack's still a person. Think about what he's gone through, because everytime he obtains a new form he exposes himself to it's insane power, and that he must be suffering from it. But he's doing it for her [Selia] so he doesn't care, he uses the power and endures all the pain and suffering for her. Lily now asks on how will he feel, how will he feel if he doesn't even hear her voice cheering him on. With that, Selia watches Zack continueing to fight but now is even more wounded, and Selia remembers that the whole reason she came here was because she wanted to protect Zack and everyone else. She thought that she was ready to make whatever sacrifice, but soon heard (from Kain and Akuhiei) that Zack and his friends had come to save her, and that somewhere deep in her heart she felt great happiness. But then she saw Zack in his D.M.W. form and his eyes, she says that they looked like those cold and dead eyes from that day, and that she was so scared. Selia thought that maybe, Zack didn't come to save her after all. Zack continues to get battered while Selia says that she was wrong and that all her fears meant nothing, and that none of that matters anymore. She closes her eyes and says that she's not afraid of Zack (as she looks back on his imperfect D.M.W. form again), and says that she only afraid that Zack will die. As Selia quickly turns her head, Zack is again kicked hard, sending him to a pillar, and ends up bloody and wounded.

As Berial looks down on Zack, he says "It looks like you were wrong again, you've reached your limit." and Zack tries to stand still, but can barely keep his guard up. Seeing him completely exhausted and out of energy Zack is, Berial says that it was fun, but now it's over as he bares his extended claws resenating with dark energy. Zack starts to lose focus and lowers his head with only a single memory of him and Selia, until he hears "Please don't die!" and he immediately wakes up in surprise and again hears "DON'T DIE ZACK!!!" as a flash of light glows brightly from the top of the pillar and Zack looks back slowly and sees Selia calling out to him. She tells him that he doesn't have to win, and as she begins crying, she then says that he doesn't have to fight for her. And to not get hurt, 'cause she just couldn't bare it. Zack then makes a single tear from hearing this, but realizes that Berial tries to finally kill him with his fully spiked arm while yelling out with an insane grin "Crown Prince Zack Xargus!!!!!", but before the attack could even land, Zack instantly grabs it without looking back and it causes a mild burst of energy from Berial's arm. Zack then grabs tightly to his arm as it returns back to normal, much to Berial surpise and Zack turns his attention to him and says "So Berial, heres the deal," and Berial can't help but listen to this as though he's stunned completely and Zack continues "you see, I've had a change of heart. And I can't allow myself to get beaten by someone like you.", and Zack's body is instantly healed as a result, and his power is back to full-strength. As Berial begins to gasp in shock, Zack instantly strike him on the torso with his energized sword and unleashes a large torrent of blood from Berial's body.

Selia, Lily, Edward, Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon looks on in speechlessness, and Zack is slightly out of breath, while Berial gasps from the great damage that was inflicted on him, and suddenly begins to fall. Seeing Berial beginning to fall, Zack declares this fight over. However, in seconds, Berial quickly grabs Zack's wrist, much to Zack's great surprise and calls him a fool to think that he'll die from that, but corrects him that he's still here. Berial continues to question that Zack thinks that he's won, he thinks he's beaten him, and yells out in rage to Zack that he'll scatter his bones to the sand. By that instant, Selia cries out to Zack to watch out and Berial gives Zack a slash in the face in retaliation, much to Selia, Lily and the others' surprise. As blood gushes, Berial has a flashback of his life as the stationary soldier of the realms, and was known as Matthew at the time. He even agreed to God to become his "Ultimate Weapon" when he can absorb the limitless power of the unstoppable beasts, his armies, and even himself if necessary. Back in the present, Berial is then shown in the present all bloody on his right arm from attacking Zack, who is actually shown to be completely unharmed, and dashes away with more blood spewing out, and he looks to Zack's eyes. Zack seems to be nearly put of breath, and the more Berial looks into his eyes, he becomes angered. As Berial looks to those eyes of Zack's even further, he says that it's as if they are mocking him. Berial then has several flashbacks of his previous fights against Zack and says that no matter how badly he beats him, somewhere deep inside, Zack always believes that he could beat him, and that he thought that he was superior to him, and that he can't stand that. Berial thrusts towards him to attack with fury and lands several strikes, but was tossed aside by Zack's Sword of Destiny and receives an impact on the ground as a result. Zack asks Berial with a short mocking laugh on what is he upset about, and asks that if he's upset that a mere hybrid like Zack would have the nerve to treat Berial as an equal. Berial gets up to his feet and instantly appears before Zack to slash him in the face. Zack manages to dodge it, and swings his sword horizontally to Berial's chest. But Berial avoids the attack, and lands back to where he was, but receives a slash across the chest from the long reach of the sword's strength and speed, and bleeds even further from it. Berial tries to maintain his balance and slightly coughs blood, but tells Zack, as he stretches out his hand to him with bared claws, that this has nothing to do with it, because he doesn't care if he's a human, a Sith'arian, or even a hybrid god. Berial continues to say with a furious look that they are all the same and that anyone who looks down on him will be crushed. And with that, Berial tightly grips his fist, and even tells Zack that he'll be the first one to go. He lunges to Zack in dashing speeds and continues to throws attacks while looking back on the past. He went to the realm of hell to make a deal to the Devil if he'll give him power to conquer the light of those who wield it. The Devil accepted but not without proving himself first, and they fight, with Matthew winning in the end. From then on, he forged himself a new name that everyone one day would fear and respect, the name Berial. With little life he has left in him, Berial tells Zack that it's time to show him his most powerful attack in that form of his. Berial's body is then resonating with massive power and energy and asks Zack if he's ready. Zack now looks to him and asks on what the hell is that. Berial then maks a grin with a satisfied exhale and he unleashes large columns of swords that resemble the Despair Sword and puts them in a ritual stance to finish Zack once and for all, as he calls it: Despair of Ragnarok. For it is his ultimate technique, with the skies being comsumed in dark evil.

Berial then sees another flashback of his past with God and seems disappointed to know that God doesn't want to give him the Unstoppable Beasts to boost his power even further. However, God tells him to wait, and he'll gain it's power, and become the Ultimatum, much to Berial surprise and satisfactory. Berial unleashes his attack and sends a Despair of Ragnarok Blast at Zack to finish him. However, Zack manages to block it, but has trouble countering it, and as he fails to counter, he is then caught in it's power, and is being damaged by its power within the blast, and Selia, Lily, Edward, Aeon, Neon, Siegfried, Daira and Mammon looks on with great concern. Berial mocks him and laughs by saying that he's finished that he'll never beat him because he has all the power in existance. Berial is shown in the past of saying that they make him sick, and Berial tells Zack that he'll wipe that smirk off his face. He looks back into the past, and says to himself that they're all cowards. Berial even tells God that he'll wait, and instead feast on other beings to increase his powers, and he leaves. Berial simultaneously in both past and present says "I am..." and it goes back to the present and he now says "I AM THE KING!!!". But Zack, now remembering the promise, regains his balance from the blast. As Zack's body was resonating with energy, he roars in fury and easily cuts through the blast with his sword that was energized by his Malevolance Getsuga, and the remains of the attack now shatters around everyone like rain. Selia, Lily, Edward, and Mammon look on in surprsie, while Aeon, Neon, Daira and the Siegfried remain calm but concerned, while Berial seems shocked to see that Zack cut right through his attack. Zack tells Berial that he has news for him that he's not the only one who wants to win. Berial asks him of what he just said, but Zack, as his body begins to glows from power and Berial's shattered enegies from the attack earlier vanish, asks Berial if the only reason he's going to kill him is because the way he looks at him, then he knows how he feels. And his eyes open wide and are turning blazingly fierce: Malevolant Stage. And with that, Zack's body completely heals from the attack with his instant regeneration, readies his sword and heads for Berial in high speeds.

Zack breaks through Berial's ultimate attack.

Berial unleashes a now fully-powered Despair of Ragnarok Blast at Zack as he tells him to die with a fury yell, but before it hits him, Zack tells Berial that he was right before when he said he came here because he wanted to fight, and gives a fierce growling roar and generates the Malevolance Getsuga in his sword and strikes the Despair Blast with it. Zack yells to Berial that the real reason he came here was to defeat him, which shows Berial in their first battle within a flashback. Just as he did to Jesus, God Almighty, and even Marka Ragnos, as their flashbacks are shown as well. He now finally says that he is going to destroy him, and end the upcoming Final War, and that he will change destiny. He will even save everyone he cares about, for that is what's in his heart, which shows his friends and family relatives within a flash of memory. He even says that he's going to take Mammon (flashback), and Daira (flashback), and Aeon (flashback), and Neon (flashback), and Siegfried (flashback), and Edward (flashback), and Lily (flashback), and most of all (with the final but most important flashback), as he becomes more powerful, more demonic and blazing with dark energies, he's going to take back Selia, no matter what, and Selia hears this as she looks to Zack. All of his friends, and that he'll bring them home safe with him. With that, he says that he won't lose to Berial, and he roars with full ferocity, and as he completely fuels his sword with his full power, he destroys the combined Despair of Ragnarok Blast, and it's shatterment causes the remains to crash and impact greatly on the surrounding areas. Zack now spins his sword in a circular motion and says "Malevolance...", and he stops the sword from spinning, grips it tightly and swings it swiftly, and causing a massive wave on destruction on the environments to 100,000 miles away. Zack then looks to Berial with mercilessness and says "Getsuga...", and his Malevolance Getsuga energies are transfering into the Sword of Destiny. And with it full charged, and then roars out "Impact!!!!", declaring his final attack: Malevolance Getsuga Impact. And with that, he goes into high speeds, while flowing with dark energy, while Berial begins to gasp with fright greatly and flashingly gets impaled in the chest by Zack's sword, finally killing him (with the original 24 hour countdown ending at 0 seconds simultaneously as a result). The energies from the sword then begins to destroy all the power within Berial's body and the Despair Ragnarok shatters immediately from Zack impaling Berial, comes crashing down on the surrounding areas with great damage and impacts, and the dark skies engulfing the planet vanish completely back to normal.

Zack stands by Berial's corpse.

With everything going back to normal, Berial is seen with Zack's sword still imbedded in his chest area, and groans from the pain. Zack's head is lowered down with no sign of words, and Berial curses Zack for it with his last breath, while Zack pulls out his sword from Berial's chest, and Berial begins shattering and fading into dark dust with blood gushing out greatly, as he looks up to the sky. Berial now has one last flashback from continuing his quest to gain more power from comsuming angel and demon flesh, and as he is seen in a barren wasteland between Heaven and Hell, he sees the sky at night, and continues to stare at the moon. As if its nothing but a body of complete and utter emptiness and isolation. With that flashback done, Berial's body begins to fall and all the power and energy from Berial's being and from the planet turn into a crest called Crest of Sith'arius, while Berial is left with his normal form as a dead corpse of no life. But as the corpse falls, Zack grabs the body's wrist, and Zack looks to it with his Malevolant Stage, and it goes back to his normal D.M.W. form. Zack gives an expressionless look for a long moment and then grabs the Crest of Sith'arius and absorbs it into his sword. Zack then takes Berial's body to the ground, while its head is lowered down with dead silence, and places it there on the ground. Zack looks to his face, with its eyes closed and its mouth slightly open, and notices that a single tear comes out from the body's left eye, and Zack feels somewhat sad from this. After that long and sad moment, Zack turns around, goes back to his normal appearance, and now goes to where Selia and the others are at. He still has his head down with expressionless sorrow, and the others put down the barriers. Zack still has his head down, and Selia hesitates for a moment, but now asks if he's hurt, but Zack, as he raises his head with a warm smile, was gonna asks her that. He answers that he's fine, and Selia is in slight surprise of his old self finally back to the way it was. Selia now smiles with relief and now sees that Zack is back to normal again. She tells him that she's okay too, and Zack smiles with relief and she thanks him. Then out of nowhere, Lily instantly burst onto Zack's chest, much to Zack's shocking reaction and the others' surprise, and the impact sends Zack several meters away, and his sword lands near Edward, which scares Edward near to death and Neon helps him calm down. Zack asks Lily if she's crazy to do that knowing that Zack's still floating in mid-air, and that she would have fallen to her death if he hadn't caught her and asks her if she ever thought about that, but Lily simply thanks Zack in tears for still being alive from all the trouble, as she hugs him tightly and happily glad that he didn't die. Zack then hugs back to Lily and apologizes for almost dying, and that he appreciates her concern. Daira says that HE was the one to tell them to stay safe and protected, so he doesn't have to apologize, and Mammon says that he's right, because that's what friends do for each other, they help and protect others from danger, even if it involves staying on the sidelines, and Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, and Edward agree to this while Zack laughs from this. Zack now floatly lands to where they are and places Lily down. He then looks to Selia and she says that it's good to see him. Zack now holds out his right hand to her and says that they should go, for everyone is waiting for them, and Selia agrees with nod. She now walks to him and holds his hand gently, and Zack does so in turn. Zack smiles while winds are smoothly blowing and Selia simply smiles back too. Zack, Selia, Lily, Edward, Siegfried, Aeon, Neon, Daira and Mammon look to the sky and see the Ebon Hawk coming to their location, and Zack says that it's time to go back home, with the picture showing Zack's friends and families on the sky, along with him and Selia on the front.

After clearing their visit from the third world, Zack and his friends then stop for a moment and reflect back. Rialma asked Zack is he's starting to feel better after searching more of his memories, and Zack nodded that he is. Helena then asks Zack on how he was lucky with the girls, and Zack's face turns red with embarressment, with Rialma trying to ease him up from the subject. Alexander and Eileen tell her not to make fun of him, and the Created Siblings also agree on this. Helena gets disappointed, and Fredrick asks Edgar or Edward if they might have forgotten anything from journeying further in the Rings. Edgar tries to wonder what it would have been, but after a moment Edward says that they can't think of a single thing, so they must be losing their memories. Everyone gets worried by this, but Fredrick states that, whatever they were, they couldn't have been very important memories. Zack agrees to that and even speaks out that, if they were important, then there would be no reason to forget them. Zack then searches through his left pocket in his coat and shows everyone what he got out. Helena looks to the item Zack is holding with glittering curiousity and wonders what it is, but Rialma told her to not try and take from him. Zack says that it's a good luck charm that a girl named Selia gave him. He says that, while he only remembers so little, he has a gut feeling that it's special to her, and that he has to return it to her. He then says in a joyful smile that he will never forget making that promise. Everyone looks to him with agreement, and Zack looks back in his mind in his human form. He then asks Selia if he's right, and an image of Selia appears before him with a smile. Zack smiles back, but after a second, a girl in black and white hair appears behind him from a distance, and Zack senses her immediately. However, before he can see who it was, he reverts back to reality and his hand failed to reach the unknown girl. Everyone then looks confused at Zack, and the latter looks to his hand with worry and confusion. Zack then grips his right hand and asks himself , "Do I know...", and he turns around and crosses his arms with the following, "...that girl?", and he closes his eyes to remember something. Rialma merely places her hand by his shoulder, seeing that he must've saw something. However, Edward and Michael asked Zack on where his mind was, and Zack then responds with an apology while iching his neck that it was his bad for daydreaming. Alexander then say that they better get going, and everyones agrees with him. Everybody then walks ahead, and Zack looks uneasy about what he had just saw, but walks ahead with Rialma for the next Ring of Naught.

With the battle finally over, Larxen is greatly beaten and seems to be out of energy. However, she stubbornly refuses to die here, and says to Zack that she'll finish him off with her ultimate attack: Lightning Thunderclap Wave. Zack tells her to try it, and she obliges. Zack then looks within himself and sees Selia crying for him back on Kortexx, and pleads to him not to get hurt. With Larxen finally fully charged, Zack's final promise is back to heart, and he instantly creates his Chidoran attack in his left hand. He then readies and dashingly lunges at high speeds to strike Larxen down for good. Larxen, however, now unleashes her Lightning Thunderclap Wave on Zack to kill him. The attack effectively incapacitates Zack, but with all the pain transferred into his hand, the Chidoran is then enlarged and overflows with violet energies, and Zack's body glows with malevolance. As he continues to lunge at Larxen, while his eyes are closed from pain, his eyes open wide and are shown to have transformed into their malevolant stage, and a flash of torrents of blood appears. Zack is then shown at the distance from Larxen back, and Larxen is seen completely immobilized, and lots of blood gush out of her shoulder and chest area, while Zack is seen in his malevolant stage with a mercilessly cold intent. Larxen then gasps in horror from this, and tells Zack that he'll never beat her. However, at that moment, her body begins to crack, and she realizes thta she is about to shatter to nothing. As she cries out in pain and screams, she explodes into lightning particles, and it leaves massive scorch marks on the ground where she was, and Zack just looks back with a cold glare.

With the fight over, Rialma, Helena, Alexander, Eileen, the Created Siblings and the Xen Brothers go to Zack, while Edward, Fredrick and Edgar just stand from a distance from Zack, since he's still in his D.M.W. form at the moment. Zack tells the others that he's fine, but is more concerned if Eliya is alright. Zack goes to Eliya and wonders if she is alright. But as he looks to her face in concern, Eliya is afraid to look at him directly in the eyes. Zack gets sad and concerned from this, and asks her if something is wrong. Eliya finally responds and says that it's all her fault for this. Fredrick asks her on what she meant, but Edward tries to ease the situation by asking him not to pressure her. Rialma agrees with Edward, as Eliya happens to be a victim in all this, too. Eliya says that it's alright, as she needs to explain to them of all this mess. After explaining all that had transpired, Eliya then tells them that she had took the memories from Zack and remade them from the original. Everyone then seems to understand this, and Alexander speculates that it is possible from the power of the Rings of Naught and the Ark of Naught. Helena then asks Eliya that, if she had remade Zack's memories, then what about the all those times that she spend with Zack, along with those girls he saw in the memory worlds. Eliya says that it was not real, that most of those memories were lies. She says that Zack had saved her from before, just like the others, but never got very close to him. Helena sighs with disappointment, especially the part about Zack sleeping with Eliya but turns out to be false. Rialma, however, is glad to know this, as he would've ended up is a mixed up complication. Zack then shows a sad face and says that Eliya was never anything more than a dear friend, and Eliya says that they weren't. And that those feeling were for Selia, not for her. Eliya then seems to be show regret and apologizes to Zack for all that she did. Zack tells her not to, and to please not cry. Eliya says that she understands, since she seems that she doesn't have the right to, but Zack tells her that that was not what he meant, and Eliya is confused. Zack turns around and locks his arm together and says that he's not happy about her messing with his memories, but that he can't be angry at her, either. He expresses that perhaps several of his memories are fake, but they still feel right. Just like the promise that he made to her, because that was real memory, not a lie. He turns to Eliya and says that he had promised to protect her, no matter what. And that if she were to cry now, he would feel guilty, as if he really let her down. He then wipes her cheek of a slight tear and asks her not to cry, and only cry when she's happy. He now gently places his hand on her cheek with a heart-felt smile. And with that, Zack then asks her if that's okay. Eliya is happy to hear Zack say those words, and she holds onto his hand on her cheek while crying with joy. Rialma gives a single tear and smile by Zack's warm and gentle words, as he was truly kind enough to forgive her after all of this. Edward then says that that was nice to hear, and Nathan agrees that it was beautiful, and Suka says that he did spoke from the heart, after all with Helena and Eileen agreeing, too. Fredrick and Edgar, however, say that that was a bit much to say, and Valka and Michael say that it was almost a mouth full, and Orian says that it's normal between lovers, and Alexander, Aeon and Neon couldn't agree more.

Hearing this from everyone, Zack's face turns slight red and tells them to knock it off, and even thought that they lost their memories a while back. Nathan just laughs and says that its too bad, because they could never forget the important memories, and everyone laughs by this response. Zack tries to get them to stop, and even becomes very embarrassed on his face.

As Kannra. Kannra falls from the edge, she falls to her supposed death, but was suddenly saved by Zack when he grabs her wrsit to stop her from her falling death. Zack pulls her up and places her on the floor. Everyone looks confused as to why Zack saved the enemy, and Helena, Eliya and the Created Siblings somehow have an idea why.

Seeing all the memories of his friends and family, Zack is back to reality and now understands well of Vrook now.

As the story begins, Zack is seen in a shop that resides in the middle of Wolfia Central and happens to own the shop. While a phone is heard ringing on the table. He gets out of the bathroom and dries his hair from the shower. He is seen in only his black, fingerless gloves with 4 metal knuckle buttons. Long blue jeans that have several cuts and a black belt to it. And still wearing his Xargus Amulet around his neck. He then kicks his chair to the table, and slides on the table and sits in it after landing. He then kicks the table to send the phone to the air and then to his hand, catching it. He tells the person on the phone "Sorry. Not open for business, yet." and just tosses it back to it's place. He says to himself that he hasn't picked a name for this 3rd and final shop, yet he's already getting calls, while Zack just eats his pizza. A man is seen outside the shop and walks inside. Zack sees the person and asks him if he's a customer, too. Zack then says to the man that if he wants to use the bathroom, then he can help himself, and that the toilet's in the back. The man slides his hand on a game table and asks Zack "Is your name Zack Xargus? The Crown Prince of Sith'aria? And the great-grandson of Twilight Dantas?", and Zack just suddenly bites off half of his pizza slice from hearing this. He asks the man with his mouth full on where did he hear this. The man says that he heard it from his "rivals", and Zack ponders about this. The man looks to Zack's neck and notices the Xargus Amulet that Zack carries. The man reveals his name to Zack as Gabriel, and tells him that his rivals have sent him an "invitation" for him. Gabriel then asks him to please accept it, and he places his hand on the under edge of the table where Zack is sitting.

Gabriel then lifts the table with his barehand, and Zack jumps in the air with a single backflip, while the table is spinning in mid-air. As the table lands overturned, Zack lands on it and grabs his gun to point it at Gabriel, but he is nowhere to be seen. Zack then puts the gun away and jumps off the table. He questions on what Gabriel said about and comments "Invitation, huh?" Zack then pulls out his left hand and grabs the pizza box that was sended into the air. As Zack grabs a slice and is about to eat it, 10 demons appear and attack him all of a sudden. However, after a moment, one demon ponders, and it is immediately pushed away from Zack with only one hand. The demon then turns to dust upon impact by the wall, and the rest begin to notice. Zack is then shown in the center of them, spinning a demon's head on his index finger, and appears to be unscratched by their assault. Zack tells them that they underestimated him, and that it was a big mistake on their part. Zack easily disposes them with his fists and kicks, and walks toward the judebox. As he does, more demons appear from the windows and attack Zack. However, Zack incapacitates them by shooting the fan on the ceiling and it crashes on them. Zack extends his right arm up with his index finger pointed straight up and says "This party's getting crazy!! Let's rock!", and he presses the judebox button. However, the judebox doesn't work, and Zack tries to press it again and again. He then takes a step back and looks to the demons that are slowly walking to him with a smirk, and at the last moment, Zack makes a chop strike on the judebox, and it severely damages it. Fortunetely, the judebox finally works, and it plays a rock song. The demons continue to walk towards Zack, and Zack is tapping his left feet casually. Zack is getting into the rethom, and as a demon prepares to attack, Zack places the pizza in his mouth, and disposes two demons with his quick fists. More demons attack, and Zack stops one easily, and puts the pizza away for later. Zack snaps a single demon's head off, and he swiftly gets his gun by his waist belt. A demon tries to attack him by the neck, but Zack blocks it with his gun while spinning it, as well. Before it can make another attempt, Zack's gun is then immediately to his nose, and he blows its head up with a single shot. Zack backflips on a demon, and pulls out his second gun out of his belt, and slides on the demon while shooting the rest when spinning. Zack then kicks the sliding demon away, and it hits the pool table. As the pool balls fly off the table, Zack looks on with no fear, and as he grins, he points his gun to the center ball, and fires on it, and it hits the following rest, and the demons are defeated in an instant. Zack pulls out his sword, and disposes the demons with no effort, and they turn to dust simultaneously. Zack then wonders if this is the end, but as he looks behind him, he then scoffs by saying "Don't bet on it.", and the demons are appearing from out of nowhere and attempt to kill Zack again.

After clearing all the demons in the room, Zack is seen sitting on the edge of his table, while spinning his sword over and over. Zack then notices that a slice of pizza is left alone in the box on the floor, and he's about to get it as he grabs his sword. However, as he is about to get it, a demon stomps on it, and it attempts to kill Zack. But Zack kills it with a shot in the head, and looking pretty pissed to see that his last slice was ruined. Zack then goes to the coat hanger, quickly puts on his black-colored shoes, and grabs his coat to go out. He then pulls something out of the coat pockets, and it happens to be a chocolate bar that he hadn't eaten yet. Zack then takes a bite of the chocolate, and looks around to say "I can already tell. Looks like this is going to be one hell of a party!!", and he kicks the door.

Zack's kick on the door causes the pieces of the door to hurl to the streets, and it hits several demons that appear out of nowhere. Zack sees them coming in a slow walk, and as he looks around, he sees his third shop nearly destroyed and ruined. Zack then says "Dammit! You guys totally recked my shop, and I haven't even named it yet!!". Zack gets angry from this, while demons keep walking towards him. Zack then tells them that they are going to pay for this, and he puts on his coat in a fast, stylish, swirling fashion, while also sending his sword to the air. As he is done with it, he then grabs his sword and makes a hard vertical strike after making a few combos. However, Zack sneezes before saying something, and as he does, a loud rumble occurs behind him. He turns around to see, and witnesses that the shop is now completely destroyed. Now angered and even more willing to get this fight on, Zack then tells them "I hope you all have enough to cover all this?!!", and he now commences for battle.

As Zack enters the cold chamber, he sees a frozen three-headed enormous dog chained to the entrance to the tower, and begins to wonder on how to get through. Zack then decides to get through by destroying the frozen dog, but as he prepares to do it, the frozen monster then begins to rumble the chamber, and its body breaks off the ice that covers it, and it roars with fury. It looks to Zack and tells him to be gone, while calling Zack a Wolfian. For the likes of him are fobidden in this land, and that he [Zack], who is powerless, is not worthy to set foot here, and Cerberus's chains get pulled over and over. Zack then says that he's amazed to see that he never met a talking dog before, and clarifies to it that for a Dog Show, it would definitely make first place. Cerberus then gets angry that a mere Wolfian like Zack would make a mockery of him, and he fires a wave of Ice Breath to Zack, but Zack jumps high to evade it. Zack sees that the wave Cerberus just used could be hard to block, and tells Cerberus, while calling him "Fido", that he can perhaps take him out for a walk. Zack then treats Cerberus like an ordinary home pet, and tells him to let's go. Cerberus then gets even more angrier, and tells him that Zack'll regret this, while calling him a worm. Zack is satisfied to hear this, and says it's show time. Zack gets prepared for this, and tells Cerberus to come on.

With the Cerberus of Naught defeated, it is greatly taken aback by Zack's vast strength, and asks Zack if he's not an ordinary Wofian. Zack just simply says in a sense of easy-going that who knows, for he doesn't even know himself. The Cerberus then says that, regardless of what he is, he has proven more than enough of his might, and that he acknowledges Zack's ability. Cerberus then tells Zack that he can take his power and go forth, for he now has his blessing. Cerberus then pulls out his soul, which causes his body to shatter to energy particles, and it goes to Zack's hand. As Zack grabs it, it transforms into an Ice of Pride card. Zack then places the card in his sword and it transforms into a Cerberus Ice Sword. Zack then makes numerous combos and attacks with it, as to quickly demonstrate its abilities and not waste time of taking longer. Zack has finally now mastered the weapon's powers and capablilities in only a moment, and Zack calls this "Too easy."

As Zack is done with the little performance, he puts the weapons away and begins to walks toward the entrance. However, as he goes, he hears a loud motorcycle from the high window from his back, and the motorcycle breaks through the window. It then lands on the ground and heads for Zack. Fortunetly, Zack simply dodges the hit by making a style jump, and sees a woman [Maya Vernad] riding it. He then lands smoothly on the ground from the jump, and the motorcycle stops as well, but from a distance from Zack. Zack then asks the lady if she's going to the party, and asks in a cocky attitude on what's the hurry, and if she got an invitation as he walks to her. However, she doesn't answer, and just fires the missile Launcher without looking to Zack. As the missile is about to reach Zack, he just surprisingly places his feet on it, and begins to ride it like a surf board on air. While giving off several crazy stunts in a few seconds, Zack then kicks it above the entrance, and it causes a hole on the spot, while Zack just exclaims from it and chuckles. He then walks to the lady again, and as he does, he sees her face with a fierce look to them, and Zack can instantly remember her already as he stops walking. Maya then readies her motorcycle, and as she's done pointing it at Zack's direction, she then goes faster and jumps at the last second without causing any sign on contact on Zack, as he has his head down, and appears to be smirking from this. Maya then enters the hole caused by the missile from Zack's surfing, and Zack turns to her after she leaves. He then says that things just keep getting better and better, and he walks to the entrance now.

When Maya resupplies her gear, she continues on into the Tower. However, a voice is heard saying "Well, Well...", and Gabriel is shown behind Maya, almost 15 feet away from her. She immediately points her gun to him and he says "You've grown stronger.", but Maya tells him to go to nothing. Gabriel questions her if she's going to shoot HIM. Her own kin. And her dear uncle. But Maya tells him that the only family she has now is her mom, sister, and little brother. And says that her father is gone, as she fires multiple times. However, Gabriel is gone, and Maya tries to keep her focus on him. Gabriel now says that she breaks his heart (though he has no heart), because he was, after all, the one who gave Maya her name. Maya now sees Gabriel on the ceiling and directs her gun to him, and Gabriel calls her his dear niece. Gabriel gives a grin and drops his Book of Naught on her face. As the book lands on her face to distract her, Gabriel suddenly appears behind her and throws her off the egde of the Tower. Maya keeps shooting him, and while her bullets miss him repeatibly, she only leaves a small cut on his face from the last bullet. Maya now falls from the Tower, and Gabriel only looks on as he gets his book from the ground.

When Maya still falls from the Tower, She is suddenly grabbed on the right shin and immediately places her guns to the unknown person. However, she recognizes that someone to be none other than Zack Xargus. Zack looks to Maya and says "Well, now this is my kinda rain" in a somewhat pervertedly smooth fashion and looks to the sky with "No wonder the sky looks so funny today.", and looks back on Maya. Maya tells him to let her go, and Zack ponders on this. Zack then chuckles and tells that "But it would be a waste if all you ended up was just a pretty stain.", and Maya immediately shoots Zack on the head. As Zack lets go of her from a shot to the head, Maya falls again but uses her climbing gear to hold onto the Tower. As she tries to get up, Zack is then heared from atop and says to Maya "What the heck was that for?! Here I am, trying to save you, Maya, from dying a splat, and you show your thanks by shooting me?!" and Zack is shown not to be harmed from the head-shot. Maya fires another shot, and it hits Zack's head again. Maya regains her balance and keeps her gun to Zack. Zack pulls back his head, and spits out the bullet from his mouth that he caught from Maya. He then pulls out the first bullet that he caught from Maya that dented on his head and tells her as he throws it away "Whatever. Do as you please." Maya then puts her gun away and tells herself that he's become a monster too. Zack walks away and says to himself that he must have some rottin' luck with older women, and he leaves claw marks on a wall from frustration.

When Zack walks into the Hall of Opening, he notices that Gabriel is on the ground, seemingly dead. But at this moment, Zack dodges a shot from behind by moving his head right. He says that it's about time, and turns to know that Maya has catched up now. Maya looks to the dead Gabriel while still pointing her gun to Zack. After seeing this, she asks Zack if he killed him. Zack asks so what if he did in a cocky manner, and Maya ends up shooting him in response. Zack manages to dodge them and grabs her wrist, while she's still firing. With the gun pointing at the ceiling, and breaking the grass frames. Zack gives a smooth wistle to Maya and says that he loves a fast woman, with Maya telling him to shut up. She releases her wrist from Zack and continues to fire at him. As they continue their fight, Maya tells Zack that Gabriel was obsessed with becoming an Ultimatum. So much that he killed his brother's wife's entire family. Zack then pulls out his gun and they clash their weapons together. Maya continues on saying that, for that one objective, Gabriel even sent his brother to Hell for stopping his brother from killing his wife, along with his two daughters and newborn son. And calls him the most vile kind of creature to exist. Zack then pushes her away, as she fires multiple shots at him. But Zack still dodges them in a spinning position while in the air. Maya then ends up on the wall, and Zack gets back on his feet from the spin, and notices that Maya's bullets didn't even scratch his coat. Maya still fires her guns and Zack jumps above her to counter the bullets with his own. Zack nows ends up behind her and they point their guns to their heads. Maya now tells him that to top it all off, that filthy scum, Gabriel, his her uncle. Zack then says to her in a smooth lady's man fashion that they finally have something in common. Because he tells her that he has a bit of a disfunctional families, too. However, Maya lashes at him about what does HE know about families. As she calls him that he's a being of monstrous power. She tells him that this her her uncle, and her family. And that this was all supposed to end by her hand. Zack looks at her without expression, and Maya slowly lowers her gun from his face. She then turns to Gabriel's dead body and is greatly upset over the lost opportunity. Zack then asks her if she's going to shoot, but she just stands there motionless. Zack gives a *tsk* sound and says "Well, that's a switch." Maya justs tells him in a soft manner to just go, and that she doesn't care anymore about her vengeance. Zack now walks to the door, while Maya lowers her head. Zack then comments "Family, huh?" and now goes through the door.

As Zack is about to grab the glowing orb, he hears a loud and raging voice, saying "Dantas!!!". He dodges the spot where he was standing, and a large beast comes crashing down on the location. Zack says in a sarcasticly mocking voice to the beast "Oh, you poor thing. Didn't your mother ever teach you to knock before you crash a party?". The beast starts to walk to Zack while stomping loudly and says that he knows that "Oder" anywhere. Zack sniffs his armpits and says to the beast "Oh, come on, man. I know I just got out of a giant, ugly monster, but I did just washed myself after that. Tell you what, I'll wear some cologne next time, okay?" But the beast says that it's the stench of the betrayal. And that it is the stench of that "acursed" Dantas. The beast reveals his name to be Beowulf, and declares that he will annihilate every last blood-relation of Dantas, and lunges at Zack with full force. Zack jumps away from the attack, and lands at the entrance of the room. Beowulf roars at Zack, and Zack says to himself "So, it's a young boy's turn to clean up after his family, eh? Where have I heared this story before?" and he readies himself to fight Beowulf.

After the fight, Zack throws his Sword of Destiny at Beowulf, while Beowulf, in turn, tries to attack Zack with his right arm. The sword cuts Beowulf's eye, and Zack blocks the attack with his arms, and pushes Beowulf away. Causing the giant beast to impact on the floor hard. Beowulf then notes that, while his sight is gone, he will not forget Zack's stench, while Zack retrieves his sword via telekinesis. Beowulf then roars to Zack and declares that he'll get his revenge soon, and escapes there in a flash. Zack then cleans himself of dust and complains about "Why do I have to take the heat for my family, whom I barely just met some time ago? Come on, man. Cut me some slack!", and Zack just looks on where Beowulf left with frustration.

With Zack's fight with Beowulf done, he finally acquires the orb. However, as Zack grabs it, it starts to weaken him a bit. A man is heared laughing from a distance, and is shown to be none other than Jester the Clown. He simply gets gitty over seeing that is amazing that even the Wolf Boy isn't a match for the orb's power (due to Zack's memory not yet returning). Jester keeps laughing and Zack grabs his neck and points his gun to Jester's long nose. Jester gets uneasy and asks Zack if he's not going to shoot him, for if he does, he'll die, along with saying "You know." But Zack says that if that's all it takes to shut him up, because his laugh is starting to bug the living crap out of him. But Jester says to Zack that he has an interesting story to tell him, but if he snuffs his voice like that, then he won't be able to tell him it. Zack finally releases his grip and shortly throws Jester a few feet away. Jester starts to slowly get up on his knees and says to himself "Thought I was a goner for sure." and he looks to a weaken Zack and says "Whoops." He now asks Zack if he saw that Tower of Naught that rised from the ground, and that it is actually a tunnel that can go from the Universal plain to the Anti-Universal realm. Jester even tells him that if the Death Brothers succeed in activating the tunnel to full operation, they'll open the gate to nothingness. Jester even asks Zack if it gives him a scary thought. Zack asks Jester that he's telling him all this because. And Jester says that he forgot to mention one tiny wittle item, and he points to the orb that Zack is holding. It's a gizmo that activates the bridge to move straight foward. However, it also sucks the life essence of those who hold it, so Jester tells him to hurry. As Jester leaves with a hilarius departure, Zack is about to shoot him, but Jester continues to say that, while the orb drains his life, it'll also give him power. Jester exclaims it to be marvelous, and let Zack's desires drive him to the core, and with that, Jester laughs like craxy again, and leaves the scene. Zack then stands up and asks Jester if he had told him that sooner, and calls him a big-mouth moron. With that, Zack look to the orb, and suddenly transforms into his D.M.W. form from the intense pain.

The Death Brothers are now at the Room of Offering, and try to go to the center. However, before that, Beowulf appears behind them and says that he knew that he would follow that retched scent, and that no matter where he goes he'll find him (But doesn't know that it's the Death Brother, not Zack, due to being blind from his fight with Zack earlier). Beowulf then attacks, but was instantly defeated by the Death Brothers in 3 seconds. Beowulf then realizes that he wasn't following Zack, but that he was only following the smell of Zack's blood from the veils that the Death Brothers took from their fight with Zack some time ago. Beowulf curses his opponents and he falls to pieces in the process of fighting them. As the pieces fall to the ground, Beowulf's soul is levitating over the dismembered corpse. The Death Brothers then have the soul come to them, and they receive equal power when they splitted it in half.

Death Scar and Death Stalker finally go to the center of the Room of Offering after killing Beowulf, they now use the amulets to tranfer into the center, along with their blood from Marka's Anti-Universal Crest in their bodies, and finally from Zack's own blood. They now wait for the activation to work. Much time later, the Death Brothers then get impatient and ask why isn't it working. They wonder if something is missing, or if more blood must be shed. They then hear a voice that says "You both seem to be in a bad mood.", and they look to where the voice was heard, and it is Zack. Zack chuckles and sees that his great-grandfather's amulet was the key to open the door to anti-existance, and thanks him while looking to the ceiling. The Death Brothers interupt by saying that it's quite the opposite and clarify that, originally, it WAS the key to opening the realm to the anti-existance, but was given to his family as a gift.

As Zack continues to fight the Death Brothers, Carth and Bastila with his friends the Xen Brothers and Helena Xargus, they continue to get wounded and exhausted at the same time they get. But at this time, Maya begins to interfere in their fight as she fires a missile launcher at Zack's location, but Zack and the Death Brothers manage to slice the missile to pieces. Zack sees her and tells her to beat it but Maya says to shut up and fires another missile. Zack dodges it and Maya soon clashes her guns with the Death Brothers.

As both Zack and the Death Brothers are incapacitated, a clapping sound then happens and everyone looks to the direction of the sound. The one named Jester appears and says bravo, for he never dreamed that things would go so smoothly, and even congratulates everyone for their part. Maya then swings her bladed Missile Launcher to Jester, but he catches it immediately before it hit him. He then gets closer to Maya and tells to her to not be a "bad girl", and throws her aside with the Missile Launcher. Maya grunts from the landing on the ground, and Jester says that or else she'll get a "spanking" from daddy later. The Death Brothers call Jester an insane baffoon, and that, while they don't know where he came from, but that he doesn't belong here. And that tell him to leaves, while Jester drops the Missile Launcher to the floor. The Death Brothers now lung at Jester, and before their weapons can land on him, Jester effortlessly stops them with his bare hands, much to the Brothers surprise.

As Maya is exhausted from the continual fighting with the monsters in the gigantic tower, Zack appears and asks her if she's tired. Zack then tells her with a cocky attitude to stand back so that he can deal with Gabriel, but Maya points a gun to the back of his head telling HIM to stand back. Having enough, Zack quickly grabs her hand and lowering it, with Maya firing but to no effect to his stomach area. Zack irretatingly tells her that he told her that she can't kill Gabriel, because it's not a human's nor a hunter's job. But Maya tells him that HE's the one who doesn't get, because this isn't something he can reason. Maya releases Zack's grip on her wrist (though Zack grabs her blaster) and points her secondary gun to Zack and angerly tells him that she is driven by the inability to forgive Gabriel, and that her heart is screaming, demanding her to kill him. She then readys her equipment and tells Zack to stay out of this, bacuase it's a family and it's none of Zack's concern. Zack, having heared enough, tells her "Okay, lady. I get the picture now.", and he turns around to tell her that he has no intention of standing back and watching her die for nothing. He throws the gun to her by her feet And even heals Maya of her current condition. And as he begins to pulls out his twin Xargus guns while saying to Maya "Now please, for the last time...", he now points his guns Maya and begs out of concern for her to "Stay out of this fight, or there's only going to be some consequences." Maya then raises her head, still filled with pride and stubborn vengeance, and now says "Fair enough.", and she takes out a large missile launcher pointing at Zack and says "I wasn't planning on letting go any of my preys anyway." Zack looks on with sad concern and Maya finishes with "Not even one." she then fires her missile launcher at Zack, while Zack dodges it in the nick of time and Maya quickly grabs her gun on the floor. Zack repoints her guns to Maya and Maya in turn points her arsonal to Zack, declaring their final bout while countless amounts of feathers fall around the area.

Zack promises Maya that he'll take care of Gabriel.

After the fight, Maya struggles to keep her focus on Zack and tries to fire shots at him, but they only pass by him, missing each one. As Maya finally runs out of energy, she still pulls the trigger, despite that it ran out. Her hand falls but still pointed to Zack, and Zack places his left arm on the wall over Maya's shoulder and tells her that he'll take care of Gabriel. Maya turns her head as though she thought, for a slight, moment that Zack tried to kiss her, but Zack just turns around while instantly healing her in less than a second and goes to the doorway. However, Maya asks him on why does he care so much. Hearing this, Zack turns around to her and says that this whole business started when God created Urizen and when Dantas had to sacrifice his life to seal the Dark God away. But now, two of his friends darksiders now want to release that beast and turns everything into an everlasting non-existance, and he points to Maya that this is his family matter too. Maya lowers her head while Zack says that quite frankly at first he didn't seem to give a damn. But because of Maya, he remembers on what's important, and on what he has to do. He begins to leave but Maya asks him to wait, and Zack says to trust him because he'll make things right for her, because that's what his heart is telling him to do. Maya pulls out her Missile Launcher and intends to give it to Zack. Zack asks her how much it'll cost him, to which she replies for his full name, and he says it. With the Launcher in hand, he begins to bid her farewell, but is surprised of Maya giving him a kiss on the lips. She simply calls it a lucky charm to him, along with the Vernad Crest that's planted on the launcher (which is a valueble amulet). Zack smiles and thanks her as he walks away to the door. But before he leaves, Maya asks him to free her uncle, and he says he will and now calls her by name for the first time. Zack finally leaves the room, and Maya falls to her knees and covers her face, hoping that Zack will stop Gabriel once and for all.

As Zack goes to the door to the Center of Nothing, he sees Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan at the center of the arena, wondering why they're there instead of being with Gabriel or the Death Brothers. Carth clarifies that he doesn't care who's side he's on, just as long as he can rid of Zack for the good of existance. Zack tells him that unleashing the dark god Urizen will not save all of existance, but will only destroy it all. Bastila just tells him to stop with his lies and for him to accept his fate and die.

After hearing Maya and Selia's words, Zack finally regains his confidence and says to his former friends that he will not die today, as he instantly halts their weapons with his hand full of energy. They look surprised by this, and Zack continues to say "Until I stop the Final War and change destiny, I don't care what it takes. I am not going to die here!". He finally blows them away with a wave of energy and they try to keep their guard up. Zack grabs his sword and readies it in hand. Carth and Bastila think that he intends to fight them in his weakened state. However, at that moment, Zack slashes his left hand and it bleeds continueously. They look confused, but Zack says that he never wanted to use this on his friends, even if they are formerly. But now he has a new path to take, and a new reason to fight. He now places his hand on his face and declares that he'll show them his "Ultimate Final Form" and he begins to go in a ripping fashion of dark and light energy on his face, and is resinating in a massive aura and roars ferociously. Carth and Bastila and the others try to guard against it, but can't seem to do so, and they wonder what's going on. At that moment, Gabriel feels the power that Zack has gained and says that he must speed up the ritual before it's too late. Helena, Alexander, Eileen, Viloura, and Kraynos also feel this overwhelming power, along with the others and wonder if it's Zack's. As the massive dark and light energies clear, Carth and Bastila look on and notice that Zack has finally transformed into his final form, his U.F.W. form.

As everyone witnesses this, the rest are unflinched, but Carth and Bastila are a little shaken by it's power and form.

After taking down all the others, Zack now directs his attention to Carth and Bastila.

Meanwhile, at the Library of Anti-Life, Maya is still down from the battle with Zack. However, at that moment, two unseen men (Death Scar & Death Stalker) are shown walking passed Maya and they head for the door where Zack left. Maya raises her head, but was too late to see who they were, as they already left. In a moment, Maya finally gets up, picks up her gun and follows where they went. And at that time, Gabriel finally finishes the ritual and gains the Sword of Naught. He makes several slashes with the sword, and finally transforms into a form that's similiar to Zack's U.F.W. form, and even gives growl, as his eyes glow burning fire red.

Zack finally enters the world of the Anti-Existance but sees no one there. In a moment, he senses a presence and blocks an attack from behind with his sword, and it is Gabriel in a new form and he dashes back to keep his distance from Zack. Gabriel then greets Zack for coming here, and asks him on what he thinks on looking at his great-grandfather's image. Zack says to him that it's like staring into a backed-up toilet, due to Gabriel using his image. Zack points his sword to Gabriel and asks on why does he have to go around and bug into other family's business, and wonders if he has any other hobbies. Gabriel chuckles from this, and Zack followsuits. Gabriel then comments that he can still talk big after seeing this form. He then declares Zack a battle to the death, in order to see who might be stronger: The old generation, or the new generation. Zack then accepts the challenge, and they begin to commence for battle.

Zack and Gabriel are taken aback by their attacks and powers, and they are in the same areas as they were from the start. Gabriel is surprised to see that Zack can still be a match for him, and is not even using his U.F.W. form. Zack chuckles and mocks Gabriel for his lack of control and full manipulation of his great-grandfather power and skills, and says that he'll have to try harder. Taken by the insult, Gabriel is irritated and tells Zack to not get cocky yet, for this is just getting good. All of a sudden, Gabriel's form is starting to grow and begins to morph strangely, and Zack ponders on what is happening in silence. Gabriel then basks in satisfactory and gleefulness that he can feel the power flowing through him, both the Dark God Urizen, and the power of Twilight Dantas. Everything turns dark and shadowy, and Zack continues to look on from the distance. A giant clawed hand appears on the ground, that causes much impact, and it is revealed that Gabriel has transformed into a blob of a beast. Zack then tells him that his great-grandfather wouldn't look so hideous, and looks to his sword's reflection and comments that can't Gabriel tell by looking at him [Zack], and gives a charming look at the reflection. Zack then returns his attention to Gabriel and says "Anyway, that look suits you well. Let's begin the main event!!", and Zack prepares to fight him, and Gabriel launches an attack.

As the sword of Naught falls and hits the rivery ground, Zack and the Death Brothers land on the waters and try to reach the sword. However, before Zack could reach it, the Death Brothers grab it and it splits in half. Seeing that Zack is holding the Xen Amulets, they asks him to give those to them. Zack looks at them and says "No way. You two got your owns." but they say that they want those, too. Zack asks them on what do they intend to do with all that power. Zack even says that, no matter what they'll do, they'll never be a match for him, or their originals. Death Scar and Death Stalker yell at him that he's wasting their time, and they lunges at him with their separate Swords of Naught. However, Zack blocks them with his left arm. And only receiving a minor cut. Zack tells them that they are the People of Destiny. For each of them holds their bonds, but more importantly, their hearts. He then pushes them away from him, and Zack says that right now, his heart, is saying that he wants to stop them. The Death Brothers give a mocking laugh and say that, unfortunetly, they don't have hearts. They are only driven by their desires, and what they desire is more power. Zack now tells them that they were supposed to be friends. But the Death Brothers say "Friends? ....Right." and they prepare to fight Zack with the separate Swords of Naught.

With their fight about to come to a close, the Death Brothers fall to their knees and are confused as to why they are being defeated. Zack asks them if that's all they got. He tells to get up, 'cause they, as he says, can do better than that. The Death Brothers try to regain their stand, and a sudden rumble is then taken place in their location. The Death Brothers explain that the Door to the Anti-Existance is closing, because the requirements for the Sword of Naught has been separated. Zack now declares for this fight to end, and that he'll stop them, even if he has to kill them. The Death Brothers prepare to use their full power with their strongest attacks, and Zack does the same. Death Scar charges his Infernal Twister, while Death Stalker charges his Shadow Reaver. Zack now charges his Getsuga attack, but suddenly enters his U.F.W. form in response to charge his Getsuga at full strength. Now at their full might, Zack runs straight at the Death Brothers, and the Brothers followsuit. With one dramatic blow, Zack slashes them with his Getsuga filled sword, while the Death Brothers failed to land their attacks on Zack and their blood streams out fro their bodies from Zack's strike. The Death Brothers then groan with massive pain, and they end up dropping the separate Swords of Naught, along with its requirements. The items then float in the air with their vile auras, and Zack looks at them in response. They then lunge towards Zack and they become part of him within his being. Zack feels the Sword of Naught now transferred into the Sword of Destiny, and the Death Brothers now see that Zack is the one to truly wield the power. Zack then realizes that the his amulet, including the Xen Brothers' amulets and the rest are in his pockets, and another rumble occurs. The Death Brothers then tell him that Zack is indeed the only one to wield the power, but they feel that it is still not enough yet. They then stumble towards the edge of the river cliff, and Zack tries to save them from falling. However, they point their weapons to his neck and they tell him to leave them and go, if he wishes not to be trapped in this hellish place, because they'll be staying. They are about to fall and they tell Zack that this was to be their graves someday, and they finally fall from the edge. Zack tries to reach out to them with his right hand, but the Death Brothers just slash at it with their weapons, but Zack's hand remains unharmed from this. They fall through an endless abyss, and Zack clasps his hand tightly. He looks to them for a long moment, and turns around to leave this place, but also looks to his amulet and puts it back around his neck, while simultaneously returns to hsi normal form.

With all that's happened being done, everyone looks to the sky for Zack's return from his fight against the Death Brothers. Zack is then heard from the back and says on what an ordeal it has been. Selia, Kannra, Edward and everyone else go to see Zack, and are happy to know he's alive, while Maya is seen just standing, and with Helena holding Dantas in her arms. Zack thanks everyone for their concern, but asks if they can leave him for a moment to talk to Maya. He then gives Aeon and Neon their amulets back, as well. Mammon asks why he wants to talk to his daughter, but Kannra and the rest ask him to do as he says. As they need to talk about all that has happened, and Kain and Akuhiei agree too. Mammon gives in, and goes with the others to the city. Mammon then tells Maya not to take too long, as she needs to see her family too, and Maya says that she will, and Pride is seen looking to Maya and vice versa. Zack now goes to Maya and wonders if there's a late fee for her weapon. Maya says that she needs it back, but wonders if Zack can keep the Vernad Crest. Zack says that he's good, and that she can give it to someone else. Maya wonders on what he means with a suspicious look, and Zack says someone like Pride for one. Maya blushes and asks him on how did he know that, and Zack reveals that he knew because that's how she felt when she did kissed him after their last battle. Maya sees it in her flashback, and is greatly embarressed by it, and doesn't know how to explain it. Zack just laughs and says that it's fine, and that he'll give her permission to date him [Pride] if she wishes. She says that that's fine, as she can ask him herself, and Zack returns her weapon back to her possession.

Zack now looks to the sky and walks a few steps forward, and Maya does the same. Zack says that everyone should be fine now, but knows that those monsters will be back soon. Zack seems to say something, and Maya looks to him and asks if he's crying. Zack turns to his right and says that it's only the Rain of Sorrow. Maya places out her hand and says that the raining of that event had already stopped. Zack is silent for a moment and says that monsters, with no hearts, never cry. Maya understands this and says that, if a person cries, it means that they cared about other people, and are always willing to help others in need; just as Zack tried for her [Maya], and the Death Brothers. Maya now sees that even a being of darkness can cry because they have a heart, and learn to love others for who they are, not what they are known as. Maya then walks to Zack and holds his arm warmthfully. Zack looks to her with the tears that were from his eyes, and Maya thanks him for helping her. She now gives him one last kiss, and it lasts for several moments. She then tells him to not cry for not helping his friends' darksiders, and focus more now on his friends and family that are here and alive, as she gently wipes away his tears with her hands. Zack thanks her with a warm smile, and hugs her gently and vice versa. After a moment of heart-warming silence, Maya then says "By the way...", and she pulls out her gun, and fires over Zack's shoulder. The shots hit several demons that appeared out of nowhere, and Zack looks to the back where they were shot. Maya now says "Looks like...we're gonna be busy for a while.", and more demons show up. Zack now puts back his fearless and cocky attitude and responds "Well, bring it on. I love this. This is what I live for!", and he prepares to fight them off. More demons continue to appear one by one, and Zack , now switching back to his other attire, pulls out his twin guns and declares, "I'm absolutely crazy about it!!!", and he and Maya now exterminate the leftover demons from the battle.

The time for the final battle of the Dualing Championship has finally arrived, and Zack is in the arena with Kain and Akuhiei. Kain is thrilled to finally be here and Akuhiei and hoping that everyone will enjoy this. Zack still looks uneasy about this and hopes that nothing bad will happen.

Zack and the Ragnos Brothers are heavily exhausted from the intense battle, and Zack asks them if they're done yet.

Now that he is in his U.F.W. form, Zack now intends to go all-out on the Ragnos Brothers one last time.

As Zack hurries to inform his friends and family that Korin and Zarvik are plotting to gain the power of Urizen, he sees a person on the distant on the bridge. As the fog clears, he sees Selia looking pale and rushes to her as he asks her if she's alright. She simply just hugs him gently, and Zack apologizes for making her so worried. However, Selia says "Please...Zack. Get....away!" and her eyes turn to yellow with target marks and a symbol of Vanick appears on her forehead, along with marks over her eye-lids. Zack gets confused, but at that moment, he is suddenly impaled through his chest to his back by shining extended claws from Selia's hand, and Zack reacts to this while blood comes out of his mouth. He thinks to himself of what's happening, and Selia pulls out her hand, much to Zack's immense internal bodily pain.

As Zack finally manages to reach he tree of where Lord Zarvik was slained, Selia appears from his right at the distance and fires Heavenly darts at Zack to incapacitate him. Zack manages to dodge them but has a hard time of keeping his balance. Selia soon dashes toward him and Zack sees Zarvik's spirit controlling her from inside her soul, and puts himself into defence. However, the possessed Selia discharges a light wave that pushes him towards the giant tree.

Seeing the nightmare before her very eyes, Selia goes to Zack's bloody and battered corpse and cries painfully for what SHE did to him (even though it was by Zarvik's control over her, but was done so by Korin's evil deed). After a moment, a man is heard saying "So, it's finally done.", and Selia immediately turns to where the voice was heard, and it was none other than her father, Korin Vanick. Korin shows up with his arms behind his back, and giving a false smile to Selia. He tells her that she has done well, and Selia is confused on what he meant from this. She asks him on what he is doing here, and he replies to her that he is here to have her be seen as the heroine that slain the monster that would have destroyed them all. Selia cannot believe what she is hearing, and says that Zack is not a monster, he was a person.

However, before Alexander and Eileen can fight Korin, they hear a massive crumble behind them. Helena is fueled by sadness and hate of what Korin did to Zack, and had used his own daughter to do it, and calls it a coward's tactic. Helena now dashes in high speeds to attack Korin with a hard punch, but he dodges it in the nick of time, tough the attack caused a major impact on the ground where he was. Helena yells out to him to fight her like a man. Korin tells her that he never thought that she would want to fight him this early in the game, but Helena runs at him again for another assault.

With Helena down for the count, Alexander and Eileen try to fight Korin to stop his intentions.

Hearing Selia's cry for help, an enormous column of darkness explodes inside Zack's body and unleashes a massive explosion that rattles the planet. Everyone gets scared from this and Kain and Akuhiei wonder what's happening. Aeon and Neon think they should go to where Zack was killed, and Lucian and Esther said that they should hurry. The other superiors also want to see what's happening, and their parents followsuit. Michael then asks Mammon if he'll help him to find that massive rumble that occured, and he agrees. Revan and Kayle, along with their companions soon follow along to where everyone is going. Back to where the others are at, Helena and Selia sees the darkness from where Zack was and wonders in surprise and concern if what happened just now, and Alexander and Eileen watch on.

Dark Zack is reborn anew.

Korin looks surprised to see that Zack has somehow came back to life. However, as the dark smoke clears, it is none other than Dark Zack in Zack's Wolfian form. Helena, Alexander, Eileen, and Selia are shocked and speechless of seeing that Zack has drastically changed somehow. As they look on in confusion and concern, Dark Zack looks to Selia and walks to her. Selia is frightened, but somehow knows that Dark Zack means no harm. As Dark Zack stands before her, while she is on the ground, he suddenly hugs her gently, much to everyone's surprise. Selia is speechless, yet slightly blushes from the hug. Dark Zack then tells her thanks for bringing him back to existance, as he brushes her hair smoothly, and that it is now time for himself to protect her this time. Dark Zack then wipes away Selia's tears and tells her to stay back, and that he can do what Zack has wished him to do, and even smiles to her heartfully, and Selia sees this with some measure of comfort. Korin questions Dark Zack on who or what he is, and Dark Zack stands up turns to him coolfully. Dark Zack tells him that he's the Darksider of Zack Xargus, the one named Dark Zack, and Korin and the rest hear this with shock and concern. Korin just maintains his composure after a second, and then says that since he's a darksider, one of the dark, he will exterminate him for good. Korin then summons his Swords of Ragnarok to prepare for battle. Dark Zack chuckles from this and asks Korin if he intents to challenge him to the death. Korin tells him that, as the future savior of all existance, he will destroy anyone who is of darkness, and will not show a shred of mercy to them, no matter who or what they are. Starting with Dark Zack, and then everyone else of the darkness. Dark Zack then makes a "hmph" and tells Korin in a grin that it's unwise to make such arrogant threats, for they always make him seem so weak. Korin dashes to him with his sword, but at that moment, Dark Zack appears from behind and slashes his back with his claws. Korin is surprise to see that he was able to get behind him without being able to sense his presence, but that it matters not. Korin attempts to strike in a horizontal strike at a 180-degree angle, but Dark Zack just grabs the sword with only one finger, and it causes a massive wave of destruction. Korin is surprised by this, and thinks to himself if something is wrong. Dark Zack tells him that there is nothing wrong with him, but that it's only his power that is not doing the work, especially that he's on the wrong side of this, and Dark Zack pushes him 1,000 feet away with his index finger, and Korin gets a heavy impact from the push.

Dark Zack grins to Selia and the rest and assures them to not worry.

Korin is speechless to see that a mere Darksider is able to best him so easily, despite that they just started fighting. Dark Zack tells him that if he has no other powers to show him, then it'll soon be over for him, as Dark Zack cracks his fist in exercise fashion. Korin gets angry and fires Waves of Light to Dark Zack to distract him so that he can attack him on surprise. However, the waves are cut away by Dark Zack's hands, and Dark Zack tells him that he'll have to do better than that. Korin then dashes at him in high-speeds and continues to attack him with multiple combos. However, Dark Zack just dodges them casually, and tells Korin that it's no use for a frontal assault, and kicks him away with ease, sending him a long distance away with an impact on the ground. Dark Zack now resorts to show him his Cerunga to see if he can dodge it, or block it. Korin tells him that a Cerunga is no match for him, even if it's from the likes of him. However, as Korin still talks, Dark Zack unleashes his Darkness Cerunga, and it causes great destruction within Korin's range and going at a speed faster than anticipated. Seeing that the Cerunga that Dark Zack has unleashed, Korin desperately tries to block it with his Shields of Light, but they instantly shattered by the Darkness Cerunga's power. Korin is greatly inflicted by the attack, but can still be able to stand from it. Dark Zack is impressed by his physical strength, and wonders on how long he can last. Not wanting to waste any more time with Dark Zack, Korin now unleashes his fully-powered Ragnarok Summoning Swords to finish Dark Zack for good, and Dark Zack looks on with some degree of displeasement. Alexander and Eileen see the attack coming at Dark Zack's location and become scared of losing him from that full-powered attack. Helena and Selia scream out in concern to Dark Zack to get out of there, but Dark Zack just turns and looks at them with no expession nor fear of the incoming attack. As the attack comes closer, they plead for him to get out of there again with tears slightly streaming out from their eyes, but as the attack makes contact with Dark Zack's skin, it suddenly explodes into a million pieces, leaving Dark Zack completely unharmed and unfazed, and to Helena, Alexander, Eileen, and Selia's surprise, and to Korin's shock. Dark Zack tells them not to worry, for he is the Darksider of Zack Xargus, and as he gives a menacing grin, he tells them that, like Zack, he has no intention of dying today, for his desires are the same as his.

Dark Zack then turns to Korin and tells him that it is about time to end this fight, and for everyone to know that he is a fraud and an evil man that wanted to murder an entire innocent race for no good reason. Korin then tells him that this fight is far from over, and that the Sith'arians are not innocent, but are an evil and arrogant race that deserves to be exterminated. Dark Zack looks to him with displeasement, and is sorry to hear that, but this fight is about to be over now. Dark Zack even tells him that he knows that he [Korin] used his daughter to kill the man she loves the most, and have her ended Zack with the blood on her hands. Dark Zack looks to Korin with a face of anger and fury, and tells him that if there is anyone who is evil and arrogant, it is himself [Korin] for using his daughter so heartlessly to kill the man she loves. Suddenly, everything turns into darkness around everyone, and Korin looks frightened of what is about to happen. Dark Zack says that he will not let himself lose to someone like Korin, for he is a man would abandoned his heart in the name of hatred and attempt to annihilate the Sith'arians. Dark Zack then lifts up his right hand, and massive spires of earth erupt around him and prepare to attack. Korin keeps his guard, but as Dark Zack launched them to him in high-speeds, Korin's shield broke again, and he received some damage, and the darkness gone out of sight. But as the darkness clears, Korin sees that everyone that he knows are now where they are, and Zack's friends and family members are now there to see what is happening. Dark Zack appears behind Korin, and Korin swings his sword to him, but Dark Zack disappears. Then suddenly, Korin is being slashed away swiftly by countless strikes, and Dark Zack is seen from a distance with a grin, and Korin begins to fall to his knees. Dark Zack says that this will be over soon, and for Korin to have a moment of remorse for what evil he had done.

Everyone sees this with disbelief, and wonder if this is really Zack that their seeing with their own eyes right now. Edward can tell that this isn't Zack, at least not fully, but it is his darksider that has lived within him for a long time, and Revan, Kayle, Alek and the rest agree, but everyone is slightly speechless from this. Michael and the Created Siblings wonder if that Korin fellow is going to give up, as he is no match for Dark Zack in many ways, and Kain and Akuhiei, along with their friends and families also wonder the same thing.
However, Korin looks to Dark Zack and says that a dark being like him has no right to tell him what to do, and what he is doing is not wrong, but is justice. Dark Zack looks with pity and tells him that does having his daughter kill the man she loves is justice, or simply an act of evil intention. Everyone hears this with shock and silent outrage, Korin remains silent, and Dark Zack says that it won't matter what he says now, for the truth is now out in th open, and Korin asks on what he is talking about. Dark Zack then reveals to Korin from his coat-pocket that he had a recorder from Edward to hear all the conversation that just happened earlier, and it has send word to all in the universe, much to Korin's shock, and to Edward's surprise and thankfullness. Dark Zack tells Edward that he is a very good friend to him and Zack, and that he's happy to actually meet him face-to-face with a smile, and Edward thanks him for that with a shy face and while scratching his neck, while Alexandra is holding on his arm with some congrates. Dark Zack then turns his head to Korin and clarifies that now everyone now knows that Korin is a fraud and a traitor to those who trusted him and looked up to him, and will now see him as nothing more than a monster in human flesh, and a dispicable fraud that did everything out of evil intentions.

Dark Zack appears behind Korin.

Dark Zack defeats Korin with an explosive blow.

Dark Zack now declares this to be his end, and is now going to go all-out. Korin quickly goes back from the little revelation of conspiracy, and tells Dark Zack that that little gizmo is useless, and that he'll wipe everyone's mind with his powers. But as Korin continues to boast, Dark Zack then dashes in high speeds and appears in front of Korin, and delivers him a kick to the face that sends him flying to the skies, and giving Korin a bloody scar of his face, and is now an "X". Korin regains his balance, but as he does, he sees that Dark Zack has replicated himself into five people. They then fire their Cerungas, Grand King Cerungas, Chidorans, Rasenmas, Galinshias, and their Kasenmas. As the attacks go at Korin in high speeds, Korin attempts to defend himself with his Ragnarok Barrier, and calls them useless waste of energies. However, as he does, Dark Zack is seen from behind with his right hand burning with dark energy, and Korin tries to block it with his shield quickly. However, the shield shatters, and Dark Zack impales Korin in the chest through the back. Korin begins coughing blood, and Dark Zack asks him if he really didn't think he would be stupid, and that those clones of him were just to distract him long enough to attack him from behind. As the attack are about to impact on them in seconds, Dark Zack tells Korin to look and that he has his Sword of Destiny in his left hand and it is fully energized with his Getsuga attack. Korin screams out to Dark Zack to not do it, Dark Zack strikes him with full might, and the others attack collide with the Getsuga and cause a vastly powerful explosive dome of dark destruction in the skies above, and everyone tries to guard against its powerful magnitude.

With the fight over, the dark clouds then begin to clear, and everyone sees what has happened. Dark Zack is seen with his grin gone from his face, and as the dark smoke clears, Korin is then seen fatally injured and in Dark Zack's grip from his left arm. Everyone continues to stare at them, and Dark Zack slowly levitates down to the ground and places Korin down. Selia tries to walk to Dark Zack and wonders if he's alright. Edward and the others look on with some degree of concern. Selia is now next to Dark Zack and asks him, while holding onto his right arm, if he's alright. Dark Zack then says that he's fine, and looks straight at Selia with an expression that Zack mostly wears. Dark Zack then suddenly holds Selia in his arms, and Selia blushes out of surprise. Selia is then within his mental realm, and everything seems like a peaceful paradise. She then sees Zack by a tree that looks like the one that Zack had died from. Selia then breaks into tears, and Zack looks to her with a smile, as if he's alright. He asks her if she's alright, and that she doesn't have to cry for him right now. Selia just continues to cry and apologizes to him for hurting him, even if she was under her father's and Zarvik's control, and that she's very sorry, as she covers her face. Zack reassures her that he's fine, and he gets up from the tree. He walks toward her, but groans from the pain that was inflicted on him, and Selia runs to him. She begs Zack to not move, as he's still hurt, but Zack pulls her into his arms and holds her warmthfully. She is speechless from this, and Zack tells her that he needs her with him, and if she's realized that yet. She then cries deeply and lowers her head in his warmth and thanks him. She is now outside his mental realm, and sees that Zack is in his Darksider's form right now, and calls him by his name. Zack smiles and says that he's glad to see her alive, and everyone realizes that Zack is here and now, and they go to see him.

Zack runs to Zarvik, and Zarvik now unleashes his fully-powered Dark God Ragnarok Blast, Selia finally shoots her Shining Arrow to Zarvik's attack. As the arrow collides with Zarvik's blast, Zack now says that it's time to end this and that Zarvik has mocked them, so now it's time to show him their true power. Zack now unleashes his Backlash Wave to Zarvik's blast, and it is then combined with the Backlash Wave, much to Zarvik's surprise.

Even with Zarvik finally wiped from existance, Korin still wishes to continue with the plan to recreate existance to a more peaceful and more justful place. And will use the sword of Naught and the Affinity Gauntlet to do it. He now declares a death match to Zack to prove who will be the savior of all known existance, and who will be the one that will fall to nothing. Zack, however, pleads to Korin to put this path to an end. But Korin still wants to fight him to prove that he himself [Korin] is the one who will be the savior of all. But at that moment, Vanessa Vanick appears on the scene and begs her husband to stop this. Korin, still disuaded, thinks that his wife is siding with the enemy of life and order and orders her to step away from Zack, but she doesn't. Vanessa says that Zack loves Selia more than anyone, and was risking his life to save her and everyone else. But Korin says that he's tricking them and says that he doesn't love anything, for he is a monster. But Vanessa says that HE, Korin, is the monster. Because he planned for Zack's death nearly 2 months ago. He tried to have the insane doctor named Dr. Mason, turn every innocent people in the universe into Black Plague Mutants. He had Kannra brainwashed by Vrook Lamar to activate the Rings of Naught to slaughter the Sith'arians with one genocidal strike. Had Gabriel to unleash the Dark God Urizen to rise and gain its power and Dantas's. And now, tried to have Zarvik to purge all of existance of Sith'arians again. But worst of all, used his own daughter to kill the man she loves. She asks Korin to put an end to this cycle of hatred and come back to his senses, because she loves her husband. However, Korin laughs manically and says that he's not insane, and wants to kill Zack and his friends to save all of existance from him and the Sith'arians. He even says that he won't ever let go of his desire to annihilate the Sith'arians, for they are an evil and arrogant race that will lead all of existance to destruction, just like the ones from his past wanted when his parents were killed. Before Vanessa tries to reason with him again, Zack tells her not to continue, for Korin will only gets even more hateful if she continues. Zack tells Korin that he is wrong about everything, and that the Sith'arians only want to bring peace, harmony and love to all sides of existance, and never to spead war and violence on the innocent. But Korin yells at him to not give him anymore lies, and declares that they start their battle now. Seeing no other way, Zack agrees to fight Korin, but to only have him see that he's wrong.

With their battle now comensing, Zack only goes into his Alpha Omega Wolfian form and fights Korin on even ground.

As Korin tries to get up, Zack asks him to stand down, for he is only humiliating himself. Hearing this, Korin gets enraged and says that he is the savior of existance, and will not die to the likes of Zack. With one last desperate attempt, Korin uses his ability of light to distract Zack. Zack cuts away the light with his sword, and attempts to knock Korin out. However, Korin uses his daughter to get Zack down to his knees, and Zack halts his attack. Seeing this with a grin of triumph, Korin blasts Zack on the back, which causes him to fall on one knee, and for Korin to strike on his back. However, Vanessa stands in his way, trying to stop him from killing Zack. Korin lashes at her to stay out of his way, for he must kill it [Zack]. But Vanessa says that she won't, and Korin snaps at her to do it, or he'll kill her for defying him, but still Vanessa stands between Korin from Zack. She tries to get him back to his humanity, for she doesn't want him to go where no one wants to follow. She again says to let his hatred go, or it'll only consume him in the end. Daira arrives and tells Korin to listen to her, and everyone says the same. However, in a silent moment, Korin gives a menacingly cold face, and stabs Vanessa with his light spear through her chest and heart area, much to Zack, Selia and everyone's great shock. Vanessa shows great shock and sorrow in her eyes and says Korin's name, as she bleeds from the mouth and cries. Korin says in a sinisterly evil grin that if no one is with him, then they are his enemy, and has now fell into complete evil and nothingness. As Korin pulls out his extended spear from her, Vanessa begins to fall to the ground, but was caught by Daira in time. Daira expresses his disgust to Korin, for he has finally fallen to nothing, just like God did. Daira begins to leave, but was stopped by Zack when he asked him to look for Mammon and Maya at the battlefield. Daira acknowledges and leaves in an instant. Korin looks to Zack and says that it's time to end this. However, Zack appears behind Korin and slashes him on the back. He then grabs him from the back neck and throws him far away. As Korin barely gets up, Zack asks why would Korin go through all this just to kill a race that has never even harmed anyone. Korin tells him again to not give him anymore lies, for he is the monster that will destroy us all. Zack, with a sad expression on his face, now says that Korin is no longer a person anymore, and comments to him that he is just like Vrook, for he feels sorry for him too, as he sheds tears on his face, and had wished that they could be a family. Zack now goes into his darksider form, and summons Pride into the battle and the incarnation unleashes two large spires of Dark Shadows on Korin, and finishing him with his move Double Shadow Blade. Korin is falling from the skies, and Zack summons Greed and Wrath to use their Resolve/Instincts Fang Over Fang technique. They attack him and Korin is bloody all over his body, despite that he tried to defend himself with his barrier, but it shatters from the second the attack hit. As Zack then summons Envy and Guttony, he tells them to unleash their special Cerungas on Korin, and it damages him even further. And finally, Zack summons Sloth and Lust to finish this with Kasenma and Galinshia, and Korin is battered to a pulp. As Korin is losing badly, Zack looks into his memories on how he fell to nothingness to begin with.

Korin begins to look back on his past and sees himself as a 5-year-old prince that lives with his parents. He nows sees the memory of his parents that were killed in their bedroom and sees three sithlords that did the deeding murder on that night. He is horrified by this and screams out in anger and sadness, resulting in a flash of light. The three sithlords are shown to be dead and Korin is exhausted on the floor. As the years followed, Korin trained hard and studied in every way of combat and stratigy, but still held on to his deep hatred of those of the dark and swears that he will purge all of existance of dark ones and bring about the peaceful and orderly existance that he so wishes. It also shows a flashback to where Korin talked to Zarvik about bringing back the Dark God Urizen to life, for it is a creature of darkness. Korin says that God created it to exterminate the Sith'arians, so it is a creature of justice and order. Not a being of the dark. Zarvik laughs and says that if that's what he believes then that's fine with him. Korin says to Zarvik before entering the Hall of Rebirth, that he wants Zarvik to kill Zack and his friends, as well as the sith'arians when he gains the power of Lord Zarvik and the complete energy of the Dark God Urizen. Zarvik agrees to this, and closes the door. However, on the other side, Zarvik comments that Korin's evil and hatred far surpasses his and the Death Brothers put together. For his soul is filled with the blackest, most evil thing in all of existance. And as the light of memory fades, Korin is seen with a great slash to the chest by Zack's Sword of Destiny in Dark Zack form, and it hits right at the heart area. Korin barely stands near a cliff on back, but is about to lose balance. He now falls and has one last thought "I wanted to bring about the existance filled in peace and order, yet I didn't have the power to do it. And it was all because of that abomination [Zack]. How can I lose to that monster? How?! I hate them. I hate them all with all my heart and soul. I want to get stronger, stronger than anyone in existance. I don't care if it cost me my existance, just as long as I can kill them! I want to kill them with everything I have! Those beasts! Those monsters! THOSE....SITH'ARIANS!!!!!". And with that, Korin's body falls into the fiery maw of where Zarvik rised from, with Zack looking down with sadness and reverts back to normal human form.

With Korin's defeat, Zack gives a sad, tearful victory and hugs Selia. However, The Death Brothers, along with Adas and Vrook, appear from a distance from Zack and Selia and tell him that it's not over, not by a long shot. They point their hands to where Korin fell and Zack and Selia to the direction. Within seconds, Korin's charred, disfigured corpse rises to the edge of the cliff and with a dark aura surrounding his body. Zack and Selia look shocked and The Death Brothers say that anger, hatred, jealousy, and the pure evil that lives inside Korin, has transformed him from the inside-out into a true Dark God. They finally say that his rule over the world of infinite existance WILL rise again. But this time, as the infinite existance filled in evil and darkness. Korin nows crawls back and leaps to the ground and his body begins to pulp out of control. And at that moment, he screams in anger and pain, and his body explodes. Zack protects Selia from the explosion of dark evil energy, and everything seems to be engulfed in darkness and evil. As the smoke clears, they see Korin's body transformed into a manifestation of nothing but pure evil and all things vile. The Death Brothers, Vrook, and Adas say that Korin is no more, and that only his evil is what keeps his vengeance remaining.

As a boy born from those of the Spiral Force, Zack holds a uniquely high potential of the Spiral Force. His aptitude of the Spiral Force is on a level far beyond mortal reach, and most have commented that he holds the greatest use than any of the others.

During the events of the Resurrection of Evil Arc, Zack has gained the ability to transform into his final form that is called "Ultimate Final Wolfian" form, though it's called "U.F.W." form for short. It has the combined abilities and powers of Zack's seven incarnations, and is limitlessly powerful. It has the following abilities:

"When you've got someone to protect, then you can do just about anything."

"Believe in yourself. That's all it takes to do the impossible."

(to the whole galaxy broadcast) "People! Fear us, or rally behind us as you see fit! We are the Revanchists! The guardians of peace, warriors of honor, and knights for justice! We of the Revanchists stand with all those who have no weapons to wield…regardless of whether they be Mandalorians, Jedi, or the Sith! The Yuuzhan Vong cowardly took innocent civilians hostage, and they mercilessly executed them! It was a wanton and meaningless act; therefore, they have been punished…just as former Admiral Saul Karath was punished for ordering the slaughter of countless unarmed Telosian civilians. We cannot stand by and allow such cruelty to be carried out, and so we made him pay for his actions. I will not repudiate battle on a fair and level field, but neither will I tolerate a one-sided massacre of the weak by the strong. The only ones who should kill...are those who are prepared to be killed! Wherever oppressors abuse their power by attacking those who are powerless, we shall appear again, no matter how mighty or formidable our foe may be! Those of you with power, fear us! Those of you without it, rally behind us! We, the Revanchists, shall be the ones who stand in judgment of this world!"

(to Kreia) "No, I won't! I almost lost a family once before, so I'm not going to lose you too!"

"Alright then. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm only gonna use it for an instant."

"I told you didn't I? Only for an instant."

(as he transforms from his dark forms) "Our reunion. I bet you're dying to watch."

(to Grievous) "Stay away from her!!!"

(to Grievous's War Guards) "If you hurt her, I WILL KILL YOU!!!"

(to Grievous) "I should kill you! Right here!! Right now!!!"

(to God) "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If what you want is a ransom, I don't have much on me. But what I do have, are a particulary set of skills. Skills that I have acquired for some time. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let Selia go now, that will be the end of it. But if you don't, I will look for you. I will find you. And I will kill you!!!"

(to Jesus) "You idiot! Is that really what you think? I'm not going to save her because it might make my reputation greater. I'm going to save her, because I have to! I want to save her, because I LOVE HER!!!"

(to Jesus) "You're right. It's my fault that she's mixed up in this. I know that very well. But I told Selia that I loved her, and she loved me back. I promised that I will always be there to protect her, no matter what! And that why I'm going to save her!!!"

(to Berial) "You know, I've got news for ya, you're not the only one who wants to win."

(to Berial) "You want to kill me, because of the way I look at you? Well, I know how you feel!!"

(to Berial) "You were right before, when you said that I came here because I wanted to fight. The real reason I came here, was to defeat you! Just as I defeated both Jesus, God Almighty, and even Marka Ragnos before now! So I'm going to destroy you! And end the Final War! I'm going to change destiny!! I'm going to save everyone I care about, because that is what's in my heart!!! And right now, going to take Mammon! And Daira! And Aeon! And Neon! And Siegfried! And Edward! And Lily! I'm going to take back Selia!! All of my friends, and bring them home safe with me!! I WON'T LOSE TO YOU!!!!!"

(As he finishes off Berial) "Malevolance Getsuga Impact!!!!!!!"

(for Aeon) "Sayonara baby!"

(for Fredrick) "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker."

(suddenly remembers Eliya) "Do I know...that girl?"

"The name's Xargus. Zack Xargus."

(to Eliya) "Don't be! Please don't cry."

(to Eliya) "That's not what I meant (Zack turns around with his arms crossed). See, it's like this. I'm not very happy with you messing with my memories, but I can't stay mad at you for it, either. Maybe several fragments of my memories are fake, but they still feel right. Like the promise that I made, and that promise wasn't a lie (Zack then turns to Eliya). I made a promise to you that I would always protect you, no matter what. And Eliya, if you cry now, I'll feel guilty, like I really let you down (Zack then gently wipes away Eliya's slight tear from her cheek). So, please don't cry, and only cry when you're happy (And Zack gently places his hand on her cheek with a heart-felt smile). Okay?"

"Sorry. Not open for business, yet."

"I haven't even picked a name for this third shop, yet I'm already getting calls."

(to Gabriel) "You a customer, too? Well, if you want to use the bathroom, help yourself. The toilet's in the back."

"This party's getting crazy!! Let's rock!"

"The end? Don't bet on it."

"I can already tell. Looks like this is going to be one hell of a party!!"

"Dammit! You guys totally recked my shop, and I haven't even named it yet!!"

"You're gonna pay for that!"

"I hope you all have enough to cover all this?!!"

(to the Death Brothers) "It's been practically a week since we last met. Where does the time go?"

(to the Death Brothers) "No doubt you've got some fun planned for me, right, Death Brothers?!"

(to Maya) "Are you goin' to the party? What's the hurry? Didn't you get an invitation?"

"This just keeps gettin' better and better!"

(to Maya) "If you're asking for a date...forget it! Because I'm definitely making a permanent point not to go out with older women, especially the kind that tries to shoot me through the head!"

(Maya) "Date a hybrid? Ha! Even I'm not that desperate. Besides, I never go out with men of your type, especially the kind that stinks like blood."

(Zack, to his former friends) "It's really a shame y'know. I never thought that 'I' would have to use this against you guys, but now I have a new path to follow, and now have a new reason to fight, I can finally fight without anymore doubts or regrets. So watch closely, for what you are about to see..is..my..Ultimate Final Form!!!"

(to Juhani) "You know, among the others, you are the weakest of all."

(to Jolee) "As a man who's lived in a forest for as long as you have, you lack survival instincts."

"You know, there are three things I just can't stand in this world: One, is people who let their power get the better of them and make them arrogant. Two, is that I really can't stand liars who lie for the wrong reasons. And three, are those who would harm those I love just for the sake of "Order and Perfection", when it is THAT that gets them killed in the end."

(to Carth) "Do you know the difference between light and dark, an angel and demon, and a human and a monster, Carth'?"

(to Carth) "YOU ARROGANT FOOL!!!!!"

(To Gabriel) "Oh shut up, will you! I didn't send you flying from there to show you my strength. I only did that so that you can't harm my friends nor the one I love. And if it's only the two of us here, then (Transforms into U.F.W. Form) I can easily crush you." (then slashes Gabriel on the neck with Final Getsuga, sending him to the ground, killing him)

"Fighting to protect something, that is TRUE strength!"

(to Selia) "That's enough! I don't want to hear it!!Selia, I promised that I will always protect you and stay by your side, no matter what! I'm not running! Not...without...you! I WON'T LEAVE YOU BEHIND!!!"

(to Selia) "Selia...!"

(to Zarvik) "No way, man! That's not who I am. That's not how I roll!"

(to Korin) "And here I thought we could be family."

"Jeez. Don't this girls ever quit? Just give me a break already!"

(to Dark Zack) "You are a part of me, Dark Zack, so why should I hate you. You are me, and I am you. That's all that matters to the least. Everything you've done from this point on and before was because you possess a heart that no other Sider wields. You even helped save my friends from danger and many other things. I certainly don't hate you for it. And I thank you."

(to Vrook) "Vrook, you're envious of sith'arians. Even though we are much weaker than you are, and that even though we reside in darkness, we still have a purpose to fight and protect what we hold dear in our hearts. And when we are no longer able to fight back, our friends stand by our side and help us at a time of need. And our families will be there to support us 'til the very end. It is our darkness that helps us search for the light of hope, so that we can continue to defend others. Both our light and darkness are what makes us stronger to protect our loved ones, instead of relying on one side of things. And it's because of that that we can make friends where ever we go, despite we live in darkness. We stand together as one family against all odds, because we believe in ourselves, so that one day all sides of infinite existence can come together in peace, free from war and pain, never separated from each other. We have many goals, but they share the same home. One home; One family. That's something you'll never have. And that's what makes us feel sorry for you, for being so jealous of us."
